(Oh, and you yet again misused the comma.) The commas mean there's a slight breather before saying 'fail'. And the lonely I meant he used an I on it's own, as he used the letter I in words. Saying 'While you fail' is just saying he fails without using that slight breather making it more...me. Similar to when people use three dots.

This is a very common misuse of the comma, but know that it is still wrong. (Simply because many misuse it doesn't make the rule void.)

Similar to when people use three dots.Refer to the above statement on why using commas as "breathers" is incorrect. (05-15-2009, 10:26 AM)Munch link Wrote: Another Munch victimTry harder next time.

Parentheses are used to denote both a separation of what was said and extra information. You know this already, but you obviously do not know about the two different usages of parentheses. First off, you can use parentheses like I just did. It's separated from the entire sentence because it's a sentence in its own right. When you have especially long comments in parentheses, it's more correct to separate it from the original sentence and make it its own. (Actually, making them into sentences themselves is far more accepted, but whatever.) Secondly, English is my native language. What's yours? Dutch, right? Do you see me trying to correct you? Nope, so don't go trying to correct me. I realize how awesome that feeling is when you think you've finally gotten me, but you need to really check your sources before you actually post.INCORRECT Wrote:This is a very common misuse of the comma, but know that it is still wrong.
