When you don't use punctuation, your words run together. It makes it difficult to follow your line of thought.

Why not? Of course it is. And now it's correct.

Punctuation is very important. It's the different between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your Uncle Jack, off a horse.

See the difference?

I gave her some of your extra commas, Alty.

LOL! I know, I'm not one to criticize punctuation. But I write like I talk. I put commas where I want a pause.

Now be honest. You've never not known what I was trying to say. Right?

This is from someone's blog (dangerous idea: On the importance of commas) --

My mother would often call me to the dinner table with the words “Come and eat Victor.” However, as that sentence stands, it would certainly provide a good reason for me to avoid the dinner table or even call Child Protective Services on my parents. Fortunately, the true implications of the sentence would be brought out by a comma in written language between the words “eat” and “Victor” ("Come and eat, Victor.") suggesting that perhaps fried chicken, and not fried little boy, was on the menu.

I knew what you were saying, but I shuddered. And you seem like such a nice woman, too.

LMAO! I am. Well, I can be, when the mood strikes.
