I'd argue that using a comma only after the word, allowed me to place the pause where I wanted it. I'd see this as a question of taste rather than rules, as is often the case with commas. I intend, however, to make use of this free lesson in future musings. Thanks for providing it. You have to take my 3 lessons together to really take them in. Grammar, like the validity of opinions, isn't just a matter of taste, there is such a thing as being plain wrong, which is a hindrance to adult communication in so many ways if not understood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back, in my friends group we had a couple of guys in there mid 40s who would drink with us. We wouldn't take them too a club or anything but it just added to the patter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, jesus christ, they'll be queuing in their hordes just to have a burger and chips and feel hungry an hour later... "if true" Let's have an extension of the dab twat from earlier and consider this rationally, philpy. "we will have a limit of 2 customers inside each restaurant." Now. Leave aside the erroneous space in the use of McDonald's (and the missing apostrophe), the terrible comma use on the fourth line, the excessive use of exclamation marks, pretty much leave aside all the formatting. Leave aside the fact that if it doesn't come from an official McDonald's account - easy enough to check, you should be independently verifying that anyway. Do you really, really, really think that in a situation where the country's had everything bar hospitals and supermarkets shut for weeks, that the country's most popular fast food restaurant would open all of their outlets at once? Do you think this news would reach you first via some zoomer from Facebook? And most importantly, do you think this would occur with two people inside a restaurant at a time? Picture it. Go on. Chances are you've been in a shop over the past few weeks that you've had to queue for. Now imagine what it would have been like with them only letting two people in at a time. Is this where civilisation is in 2020? Where people look at this and don't immediately roll their eyes and ignore it? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this where civilisation is in 2020? Where people look at this and don't immediately roll their eyes and ignore it? I've been saying for a few years that my favourite day of the year is April 1st, because it's the one day of the year people read things online and ask themselves "hmm, I wonder if this is true?". The other 364 days of the year (365 this year) just seem to be "Believe Whatever Shite You Read Day". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
