darrenm Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 There are no grammatical errors in this post at all, and I don't really understand why people are trying to pick holes in it.I must say that I got my arse handed to me on that a while back by Peter and Mike when I complained about use of a comma before a conjunction. If it's form then fair enough - I don't like it, though. Here's something that's grammatically correct but I don't do it. I'm sure there's a term for it, but due to my shit schooling I don't know what it is. If you add a though or a too on to the end of a sentence, you should use a comma before, but when reciting in my head, it doesn't sound right to put a comma there, as there's no pause. It flows nicely and doesn't seem to need a comma to break it up before the addition of ,though or ,too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ah, I'd go with a comma there as it seems correct. I'm not a fan of equating having a pause with inserting a comma (or the opposite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Equating a comma with a pause is the only way I know where to put one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This was a web advert on 9/11. I don't know what to say. Nuts. The website put out an apology on Twitter; apparently the adbot services matched it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted September 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thats hardly a ringing endorsement I'm sorry, Mr H, but if I want anyone in my corner fighting a case about etymology or the history of usage (which would necessarily require an almost anal interest in the detail of the subject) then Levi's the man. If anal interest is the qualification, I think Rob is probably first choice, tbf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
