Experimenting with Roman Numerals Day XXI


It has been established through the exertions of others I might add that commas are really not ever needed and that with a series of connector words and or full stops an author could essentially write an entire novel without ever using one . A comma I mean .
Froget your English teacher and so what if you occasionally misspell a word as long as everyone knows what you’re trying to say why sweat a couple misplaced letters. Commas appear to be a preference and not the rule or so I have read .
Actually every country has its own punctuation rules and every author has his or her own interpretation so there that’s my story and I’m sticking to it . The more famous an author you are the more quirky you are allowed to be although the critics may disagree . So what if they argue for one point or the other it is really only the readers that count and of course the dollars they will shell out for a favorite author’s new novel .
That is all I have to say about that and I sincerely hope that you all have a groovy day or night whichever applies best to your circumstance . Toodles .
Did Andy Warhol (spellcheck wants to make him a warthog) ever do a series on punctuation ?
I guess the lowly semi-colon isn’t as exciting as a soup can .
