I care about grammar; can you tell? cn

Dude you're on the Internet; most people won't understand the majority of "dem b1g wordz".

i'll try to drive this into my brain. this seems to be the easiest way to remember it for me personally.

"let's eat, grandma" vs. "let's eat grandma"

and it keeps you from ordering stalin hookers.

and keeps breakfast edible.

long live the oxford comma.

I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin.

I invited the strippers (JFK and Stalin).

That's the same notation used in scripts.

"You (beat) where did you come from?"

Beat means a long pause.
