PUNK-CHEW-AYE-SHUN

Oh yeah! You may not be aware of the importance of punctuation. Try this sentence without commas and see what you get:

I’m sorry it’s not loaded Harriet.

Or this one:

He’s not sure she never knew about that Priscilla.

Remove punctuation from written words and chaos ensues — absobloodylute chaos! 

The Almighty Comma

How much mischief can be caused by that little arc-with-a-tail? Where does the comma belong in the next few sentences (yes, you have choices)?

• I’m sorry it’s not loaded Rebecca.
• Don’t be too sure she didn’t know about that Susan.
• He wants to be a hit man.
• While I froze my wife in the next room called, “Who’s at the door dear?”
• Just as she was about to leave her husband walked in with theater tickets.

See what I mean?
