Massive offtop, sorry about it. I've been noticing this a lot lately.
I have a pet theory than the reason people procrastinate, is because they don't concretely identify their future selves, as being the "same person" as their present self.
What is the purpose of the two commas in this sentence?
- whack 8y agoI recall reading somewhere that the "correct" way to use two commas, is when the words between the two commas can be omitted from the sentence. I don't follow that rule, as you might have guessed. I personally use periods as a "resting point" in the middle of a sentence. Ie, if I were saying this sentence out loud to an audience, at which points would I pause?
- davegauer 8y agoThe problem with non-standard usage is that it is confusing. When I see a comma, I expect it to have a particular meaning. When it doesn't, I assume I misread. You're welcome to use commas however you like, but know that others will be re-reading your sentences and wishing they didn't have to.
