OMG.

Three years ago, someone should have taken the commas away from me until I knew what I was doing.

It's just... cruel. *pets the poor commas*

Ok. I'm not brilliant at it now, but I don't torture them as much as then...

Hee!

I frequently find myself confiscating commas from one of my writers and reassigning them to another writer. Comma abuse is rampant.

I think Transgressions has enough commas for the sequel. I'm rehoming the surplus.

I'm fixing it! Transgressions has more commas than a pond of tadpoles. But I'm culling them, ruthlessly!

*cull cull*

*G*

Commas actually have a high pain threshold and can tolerate a great deal of abuse. It's the screams of the abused apostrophes which haunt me.

May the militant pandas show us all the way.

at least I know how that work's now.

*G*

Although, seriously, I didn't. I had no idea about apostrophes until 3 years ago. It just wasn't TAUGHT at my (oh the irony) grammar school.

However I can get out of a sports car in a hat and a mini. Very useful.

Kicks you. Is this what they teach you at advanced editing school?

No, I'm afraid the puns come naturally.
