[Grammar] Comma – connecting ideas.

[Tarheel]

That sign would be no better with commas if that exact wording was used. It needs to read: Toilet solely for use by the disabled, the elderly, children and pregnant women.

That is true, of course. But I have to leave something for somebody else to comment on, don't I?

Welcome to our discussion. (Who knows when it will end? ;-))

Well, your comma usage wasn't perfect, but who cares?

How about:
​

"I have spent most of the day putting in a comma, and the rest of the day taking it out."
And now I think I will go sit in a corner by myself and pout.

​

Hm. Do I have to keep the quote marks in if I take out the comma? Thus it would be:

I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
And now I think I will go sit in a corner by myself and pout.

This one has lasted for a really long time. (Where's Amigos4?)

No use in pouting, no use in citing,
For all that matters - has only five letters.
It tears apart, and ties at same time,
It gives me a hard time, and makes my head in,
I have to go now, but leaving a hint,
It’s frequently used,
And that’s about it.

Well, it doesn't rhyme, but it's rather poetic. I have to think about it and think about it some more.

Hm.
