One day the dot and the semicolon decided to go to the park they met humanity and started to embellish our books. Some people noticed that together with the dash the comma and other useful signs they could form a family: the punctuation family. Here to make our life harder and easier.
Their use changed through history and many many texts discussed their particular use.
Our modern technological world even gave them the power to turn a not nice phrase into a nice one.
Example:
1. ok (awkward and can be taken as rude)
or
2. ok :D
3. ok ;)
4. ok:)
5. ok!!
(All perfectly ok)
SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
Yes I know, eliminates the awkwardness of a text immediately. It's the magic of punctuation.
Commas in addition have saved lives. There was this kid who remembered to add a comma to a post it and saved his Grandpa:
"Let's eat Granpa!"
"Let's eat, Granpa!"
SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
Fabulous
