rpanons | [M] Here's an idea

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

do you feel entitled to healthcare, food, and housing?

one of the rules of thumbs for comma-use is that you should be able to take out the words between two commas and still have the original meaning of the sentence

so according to that rule it would read: do you feel entitled to healthcare and housing?

you lose the food

you're going to starve because of the oxford comma

do you now see the error of your ways

LMAO

iv drips will give me nutrients

no. because i starved

that rule applies to something else i can't remember the name of bc i've been out of school for 6 years you dumb fucking bitch

that's the way my college professor taught me
so call him a dumb fucking bitch not me

either he's a dumb fucking bitch too or you weren't listening bc i think i'm thinking of non-resrtictive phrases

THOSE are the things you can take out when they're inbetween commas, because they're not necessary information and it won't change the meaning of the sentence

i said one of the rules of thumb

not the rule of thumb

you moron

except your rule of thumb doesn't apply in that situation so why even fucking bring it up

you idiot

because it was funny and i liked it

deal w/ it

you like being a retard

ok have fun making your prof cry

wow so butthurt

why would i be butthurt? i'm not the college kid who doesn't know how to use commas

Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements, as in "The Founders Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, is falling down." By "parenthetical element," we mean a part of a sentence that can be removed without changing the essential meaning of that sentence. The parenthetical element is sometimes called "added information." This is the most difficult rule in punctuation because it is sometimes unclear what is "added" or "parenthetical" and what is essential to the meaning of a sentence.

thanks dickwad that's what i was talking about

that's not the same thing though

one is a list and one is an apposition

i invited john, jake, and melissa vs. john, my brother, is a star athlete

i know god damnit

the "taking things out between commas" doesn't apply to lists, especially since you can have a list of 4 things

saying "i have red, orange, green, and purple crayons" doesn't mean you suddenly lose orange and green because they're inbetween commas like op is claiming

which i am trying to explain to op

oh shit i thought you were op idk why carry on i suck dicks

it's ok dicksucker i still thank you for fetching the shit i was thinking of

whatever loser oxford comma master race!!!!

We're winning it all, bitches.

CLEAN SWEEP BABY

Let's high five, hug, and dance!

YEAH

That's a list, though. Lists are different.

You mean something like this sentence, which I am typing right now, where the information between commas is just additional if not unnecessary information.

Can become:

You mean something like this sentence where the information between commas is just additional if not unnecessary information.
