A recent article I read talks about the comma and how some people think we could live without it. The article uses an example: “Let’s eat, Grandma” which is a simple request to Grandma for food, but without a comma is more sinister. It also says that instant messaging (WhatsApp, Skype etc.) encourage the dropping of commas.
I thought it was time to start a blog in English. Every week I’ll post here to try to add something interesting about the English language. Feel free to comment!
