Re: Grammarly.
Do you see everyone? Have the scales fallen from your eyes? The Oxford comma is naught but a shibboleth of collectivism. They demand you use it for society.heydaralon wrote:There is bravery, and there is standing in front of a moving bulldozer.

Re: Grammarly.
That's not an Oxford comma. Google "comma splice," if you'd like to learn something.The Conservative wrote:Actually, I have the Oxford comma turned off, my wife yelled at me for using it, she kept telling me it was unneeded.Alexander PhiAlipson wrote:If your "Grammarly" didn't pick up that comma splice, kick it to the curb, and try to avoid asking people to mind their grammar in the future.The Conservative wrote:You realize I enjoy writing, please don't make my brain hurt with rules that I have no intention of either following or bend to such a degree that I don't care either way
