Commas Save Lives!
 
Commas save lives.

For example, observe the difference between these two sentences.

Let's eat Grandpa!
Let's eat, Grandpa!

Perhaps we can use this to illustrate the need for proper punctuation usage to new members of this forum?

While we're at it....
 
...We can encourage the proper use of spaces. For example:

Foreign students exchange

Foreign student sexchange


BIG Difference. :D

and the difference between a criminal charge and gratification
 
No! Don't! Stop!

No don't! Stop!

No! Don't stop.....

OMG! Grammar. (Be still my heart).
Don't need no stinkin' punctuation? Did YOU SAY, "We don't need no stinkin' punctuation?" Teddy, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzPBUGUM7KQ)
Try comma-tizing these,
a) Leonora walked on her head a little higher than usual.
b) The driver managed to escape from the vehicle before it sank and swam to the riverbank.
Then go to the bookstore and purchase Eats, Shoots and Leaves. It's easy to recognize this book. The cover has a panda with a gun. OR, check out this site: http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pd...ootsleaves.pdf

Teddy, it gets worse . . . here:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJNnD...eature=related:D

As it is the Comedy Zone I'll do both...

A woman - without her, man is nothing. (I took the couch last night, don't need to repeat, so this goes first...:D)

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

All this does is remind me why I got booted from The Citadel.

Or is it:
All this does, is remind me why, I got booted from The Citadel. Too many? :D

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

The first one is good.

A woman: without her, man is nothing. (for guys who don't like sleeping on the couch)
A woman without her: man is nothing! (for those women who favor women)
A woman without Herman is nothing. (Lili Munster) Spaces are important, too: "The penis mightier than the sword.")

Try this one:
That that is is that that is not is not that that is not is not that that is and that that is is not that that is not
