    CC, take it from another english major. You missed 3 commas in that last post and one semi colon: way to go for Mr. big stuff. Just fuckin ' w/ya. Just thought that I would point that out. I will send you a "good" cigar if you can point out what I am referring to...

    Right on, CC. I've seen him in action. Strange place, that.

    As for slcr: imo, the issue was never spelling, punctuation, or grammar, but it would be a colon (or double hyphen if you prefer,) not a semi-colon that was missing. The commas are obvious. I like aged Villazons and Nicaraguans.

    I never questioned spelling or grammar. Nor will I will not argue over small details. I like you already, badsneakers. You kind of remind me of a Steely Dan song of the same name. Your use of a colon could have easily been laid out with a semi-colon. Your example was not correct nor incorrect at the same time. I am just trying to give CC shit since he is so good at giving it out. I honestly hope he takes it as a joke. If not, let the banning poll begin. I vote to get rid of my sorry shit-stirring ass.

    Fair enough, CC. I am the shit talker here and would love to earn some respect from you. PM me your address. I promise to send you something you will enjoy.

    Actually, there are some hard and fast rules for commas, and I'd love to share them with anyone who is interested! (crickets chirping)
    Really though, this is a cigar board, not an English board (how fucking boring would that be!) I think as long as you try and don't type with your forehead, it's all good!
    It's also cool that 2 guys who contribute to our community can flick each other shit in good humour without it turning into a dick measuring contest.
    That's why I love it here.

    I thought there used to be but I keep hearing that's no longer the accepted practice. I probably keep hearing that from people who don't want to obey any rules

    I say list them here for us!!

    Uh, there aren't really any hard rules on commas, they are the option of the writer. For instance, the two that I used in these two sentences are okay and the sentences would be correct if I didn't use them.

    You can send me cigars anyway though if you'd like!
