My Unhealthy Comma Obsession. I agonise where to put them. I spoke to Christ about it and I am curing. Amen. |

Thing with the comma is that's how it's to be read and it's usually the correct English, another confessionable thing of mine along with making up words. Take: 1. Must be a brain thing my Lord. A and S are so close! And compare to: 2. Must be a brain thing, my Lord. A and S are so close! I feel the full meaning wouldn't be gotten without the comma if you weren't used to it because I haven't said when to pause. 2 Likes |

I was thinking, just don't use commas anymore, but good English wouldn't let me, specially considering my style of writing. It would just be more unreadable. So, my comma obsession is going to remain as the thorn that it is in my writing, with any one who likes owning the right to call me up on it whenever I go comma mad.
