dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Please learn punctuation...

[–] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the lack of commas is a deliberate choice to give the impression that the character is crashing out and screaming these things breathlessly.

[–] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds about right

I am now even more confused.

I want to spread awareness about writing AND talking English, because apparently I use better grammar, than a person from any English speaking country. And that is sad

Also, i had to read the post multiple times, just to understand the structure.

The sheer number of grammatical errors in this entire comment would speak otherwise. In fact, the mechanics, usage, and grammar are actually all incorrect and you write with a similar caliber of legibility to what you're critiquing here.

As, what I imagine to be, a non-native English-speaker I'm not going to address the structural and mechanical errors, but you should definitely reevaluate how you use commas. Check this link out for basic proper comma usage rules in English. Make sure to pay attention to the sections the dictate rules for parenthetical interruptor statements and non-restrictive or relative clauses.

Where's the rest of the post? We expect you to continue your quotation after an ellipsis!

[–] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I use it as an artistic way of showing that my words fade away, as I die.

It doesn't compromise the readability of my comment, therefore it is fine.

You may also provide the source of your findings, that make you think it has to be continued.

Your grammar is better than people from any English speaking country, so of course you know that an ellipsis represents an omission of one or more words within a quoted passage. At least, this is assuming you are following the AP Styleguide—if you were using the Chicago Manual, your ellipsis use would have been very different! We'll be proceeding with our formal complaint under that assumption.

In colloquial writing, you may occasionally see the ellipsis used in ways that deviate from formal style manuals. Those include:

  • An expression of longing.
  • A pause in speaking.
  • A leading statement.
  • An unfinished thought.
  • An echo (in groups of three identical dependent clauses).

However, none of those apply to this situation. As a perfect grammarian, you surely understand how everybody was caught off guard by your unclear punctuation use. Many of us spent the last eight hours confused about what happened to the rest of your comment. Who were you quoting? What else did they have to say?

Please let us know so that we can clear up this misunderstanding once and for all.

Are all German people like this or is it just the Redditors?
