People are forgetting how to use commas, and frankly it's starting to bother me.

I try to be understanding, I really do, but when I read this stuff that's, like, two pages long without an iota of punctuation, it really hurts my brain. You need to use punctuation otherwise you have run on sentences that don't make any sense and they're really difficult to read I can't understand what you're trying to say because it's like you're dumping a bucket of pennies at my feet and assuring me that there's absolutely a hundred dollars there I just have to slowly count all the pennies one at a time and I won't do that. This isn't about being an elitist or whatever, it's about comprehensibility. I want to understand what you're trying to say, but I'm not counting ten thousand pennies.

  • It's definitely a technology and education problem...I got caught in the odd years in school when they started using computers more often and stopped teaching writing as much so I never got the hang of either I don't know what half the stuff on a keyboard does outside of the letters and as far as writing I can't spell without autocorrect.... If it wasn't for the fact that I can read it a high level I'd be damn near illiterate cuz I can't type I can't spell and I can't computer but I also can't write Very well handwriting looks like chicken scratch always has since middle school elementary even the US education system ....no one got left behind except for everybody....

    • It's a joke I've made before, but: Punctuation can save lives. Example: - Let's eat, mom. - Let's eat mom. See the difference?
