Comma Homicide

Commas are those things we stick into a sentence that appears to lack something-as in punctuation.
What to do?
Slap a comma in there, that ought to catch it.

Yeah — no point in writing properly enough to convince others that you know what you're talking about, right?

It's one thing to make the occasional typo or grammar error. It's another not to care at all. I feel that, if I'm communicating, it is up to me to do so in a way that I can be understood by others, which is where standards come in.

I occasionally come across a post or article that is so difficult to decipher that, to be honest, after an attempt or two, I just don't bother. If the author doesn't care to put in the effort to make himself or herself understood, I guess he/she reaps the rewards of that lack of care.

How about 3 or 4 sentences? I have to go back and reread what I type taking commas out and inserting periods...

Once read a friend's first draft master's thesis. It was one 54 page long sentence. Even though he was an engineer, we are not expected to write real well, it was in serious need of editing. He confessed that he had written it in 48 hours non-stop... Needed more than editorial help. He did get his degree, but it took a while, and many rewrites.
 
After years of proper grammar punctuation etc., in school and offices I love, at this age, to write it how I feel at the time.

At this age does it matter... oh, do I have the right number of dots there...here.....??????!!

Most people read a sentence now and get the meaning regardless of dots and commas and even spelling.

Our English language is so fool of confewsing speling and meening of sum wurds....good to make fun of it sumtimes .

I luv to post fotos .... they get the meening acros with just a clik or clic

sorry.......!!!!!...... I had some fun doing this......I hope y'all can understand it....eh!

I love your rules question on how many dots are proper.
I definitely need some definite nonredundant guidelines, that are definite, for me to definitely follow, regarding the ................ !!!

We can be focused on punctuation, or lazy about punctuation. We can't be both, however, at our age either should be acceptable. Then again we may just be inconsistent, which should also be acceptable. Comprehension should serve as our umpire.
 
Whatever,,,,Try mastering 4 languages in your head. Portuguese, English, Italian and Spanish, add a few words in Japanese and net-No Russian.
