The comma is something of a mystery to many people. Why, it’s a punctuation mark. But that’s only the beginning. Commas are actually a series of marks that begin with either a lower case or a capital letter. But why does the comma matter? Most people use the same letter/symbol combination to express a similar meaning.
When you use a comma you are telling your reader to put a comma before the particular word. When you use a period, you are telling your reader to put a period before the word. You can also use a semicolon to tell the reader to put a semicolon before two words that are similar to each other.
In a way it’s a bit like punctuation. Some people use the same symbols to express the same meaning as well as a certain number of words. But it’s really a little bit like the different ways you can tell the difference between a comma and a period.
In the past, I have recommended using a comma before specific words. But this is the first time I’ve had a suggestion like this. If that’s not what you’re looking for, you can always try to use a semicolon or a colon.
I think a lot of people are just used to seeing a comma before a word when they are just learning it and just starting. So why not give it a try? If you want to go even more extreme, just try to add the first and last word together and you will get a sentence.
So if youre like me and you just want to get this one off your chest and not deal with any questions for a while, I would suggest doing what I do in these situations. I will tell you a story that will explain the whole reason for this whole post.
As a child, I was always fascinated with the idea of the comma before the word. “I’m sure I am,” I thought, “I don’t even know what I’m saying.” And I would try to say the word exactly right, but it would always end up in a question I never expected to get answered.
People ask if it’s true that “every word is equal” in English, and that is completely true. The problem is that when you write in English, words are not equal. For example, the word “comma” has a set of rules to it, and those rules don’t change when you write a sentence. That’s why the word “he” is spelled “here” in this sentence. The rules are the same.
In English there are four rules to the usage of words: Consonant, Accent, Modifier, and Suffix. The rules for these words are that no two words are the same: two words are always different. They are also that no two words are exactly the same. Thats why we have this word, but the rules dont apply to it.
So, for example, in this sentence, the word comma has a set of rules to it, and those rules dont change when you write a sentence. Thats why the word he is spelled here in this sentence. The rules are the same.
