39. No, they wouldn't send you away - |
|
they love you and all of your quirkness - just don't mix the white salt with the black pepper and fill both shakers with the mixture - that might be pushing their limits!

4. You, could, have, used, at, least, three, more, in, your, title, line. |
|
To comma or not to comma. That is the question. Personally, I'd rather see too many commas than none.

8. That's me... I call the last thing I do before hitting "enter" |
|
"the dance of the commas".
Using semi colons was worse, till I realized that semi colons should go where the commas go about 1/12 the time.
So, I just use all semi colons in February and commas the rest of the year. :)

|
somewhat unwillingly, and in a caring, decent, nuturing manner, wish you, Mrs. Grumpy, all the best, as you deserve such, in your comma abuse.

19. I overuse parenthesis (because I feel like it (ROFL)) |
|
Its just a little habit (LOL) that I developed over the years (don't know how). Quick question (if you don't mind) for any punctuation experts (if there are any out there) - is it okay to use parenthesis within a parenthetical passage? (Just wondering as it seems to come up a lot and I'm not quite sure).

interesting; though hard to use; to end a sentence.
