I’m finishing book 2, which means I’m deep in punctuation rules.
This is me, only I say, “ask me something about commas.”
And here’s the word-dork joke:
Edit #1:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy–will you let me be yours?

Edit #2:

For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we’re apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be? Yours,

So am I a Word Dork for laughing out loud at that?

Oh, yeah. Only the dorkiest word dorks laugh at that. We also laugh at puns. If we weren’t laughing so hard, we’d notice that other people were groaning.

Hey, that’s awesome.
But I’m a failed word dork. I hate puns.

You’re still a word dork. You’re just not the dorkiest of the dork. Puns are terrible. You should not laugh at them. They’re for children not groan-up. (snork. get it? groan-ups?)

I love puns. That’s why I love the Mark family. No gathering goes without one.

Hey, what are you trying to say….okay, I’ll now admit that I had to read that comma thing three times before I got it.

Ha ha. I just read this again and it made me laugh! Oh, boy, I never tire of a well placed comma.

I like to slip my commas in just above the C4. It’s quicker, quieter, and more humane.

ABOVE the C4? Jim, are you nuts? That’s just crazy.
I love puns, too. But now that I’m a mainstreamed adult, I just say them quietly to myself like, “I see dead people,” except it’s “I see a pun.”

CA-CAW! CA-CAW!
You had me so confused! When I log on, like most people, I just click most recent comments. So I landed here and then jogged over to “Now I’m Quoting Comments” and saw the link and came back here. Then I stopped in at Michael’s, offered up my sex stories at Sissy’s. When I came back here to further enjoy the grammatical party, I was like, “Hey, where’d that new post on commas go?”
Cap, don’t worry if you don’t understand this comment. Move along and save yourself from the bowl of cornflakes in my head.
Seriously, I love grammer. Love it. Like a dork. I actually rewrite sentences in my head while reading novels written by accomplished authors. I can always see a better way to say something. I’m a freak with my own stuff. I literally can’t proof without restructuring an entire story, puncuation and all.
Oh, and how about sentence diagraming in ninth grade English class!!!! I loved that class more than anything. I still have my textbook, just a few feet from where I’m sitting.

Low lip sugar, Jim? I understand completely. Let’s not let it happen again.
