I tell my kids the exact same thing! In fact, when they were younger, one kid would text another from my phone just to see what the reaction would be. They always knew it wasn't from me--because it wasn't grammatically correct. Lol.

I would respectfully disagree 🙂

I feel the same. I can get bogged down with things like that too.

People often stick commas where they "feel" a pause should be in the sentence. Sometimes that's accurate. But that natural pause doesn't always follow the grammar rules. It would be much easier if it did!

I had to learn the name rules when it comes to commas also. A lot of these posts are coming out of me having to learn where to find solid answers so I can be consistent as an editor. When in doubt, I always look things up. I have a comma cheat sheet as well just for me 🙂

You are welcome! It's weird how happy I get over correct punctuation. Lol.
