RE: How to Break Grammar Rules Like a Badass

in #writing7 years ago

Hahahaha, bloody awesome; consider yourself followed and resteemed! Please add the etymology tag to this as well.

By the way, I am so bad at using the Oxford comma, in fact my sentences are often waaaayyyyy too long. Hmm, the longer I live the less I seem to care, you may also have noticed, or will notice, my completely frivolous use of the semi-colon.

Oh and by the way, I hate spamming your content with my link; but I'd really love to hear your voice on this: We Need English Critics - Diacritics!

Thanks

Thanks @cryptogee! I read your post and commented—very fascinating! I agree with you. (+followed!)

Added the #etymology tag, although I admit I had to look that one up! Slackin', I know. :P

"...you may also have noticed, or will notice, my completely frivolous use of the semi-colon."

Oh, the elusive semicolon. Even when I know how to use the semicolon, I don't know how to use the semicolon. Haha. You'd probably also love this graphic on semicolons by The Oatmeal. Super funny!

Nice one :-). I do love etymology and the theory of words and grammar in general, there are so many interesting studies on how they affect us in different ways.

Ha, I'm just a semicolon maverick, I like to just chuck 'em in, just like pow! There you go; have a semicolon!!

Oh the graphic link isn't working :-(

Hahahaha too funny.

You get a semicolon! And YOU get a semicolon! –Oprah (probably)

Oh dangit, maybe try this search.

Haha, just seen the Oatmeal link; although they didn't put in my favourite time to use one. When sticking in a question halfway through a sentence, though I guess that kind of is the same as two uncommon causes you want to link...
