@Fuzzybear1919 - I think your interaction with the grown-ups will improve a lot when you will start using those commasā€¦ I am not the only one having difficulties reading your posts :slight_smile:
It just takes a little more effortā€¦

That should be part of standard school education. Little advice to how to place them: pay attention to how You would talk in reality, You do for sure have tiny pauses while Youā€™re speaking. Also before a comma is set, the voice raises the pitch. Maybe thatā€™s helpful. So think of what You wanna say, speak it out loud or at least say it in your head and pay attention to how You would emphasize the sentences. (Hope that helps, Iā€™m struggling with wording/describing that right here, my language(lingual) knowledge and English skills are lacking here)

Hmmm I went to look at what year weā€™re teaching basics of punctuation and TBH Iā€™m not even sure if american public schools are any more, unless you get into writing classes by the high school level. Iā€™m fairly sure we were doing sentence structure and grammar (with punctuation) by the third grade when I was a child.

ARGH this wants me to go on a whole tirade again about the hard dumbing down of our school system ever since Nancy Reagan and ā€œNo Child Left Behindā€ :scream: :face_vomiting:

Anyways @Fuzzybear1919 if you want to be ā€œbetter than averageā€ you do have tools at your disposal:

EDIT: Yep, Reagan era. There are plenty of articles like this:

Why isnā€™t it (grammar) being taught in school?

Generally speaking, grammar is no longer regarded as a need in many schools. It has been on a slow decline for years, although the effects of it not being taught are being noticed by many at this point in time. The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) started discouraging grammar being taught in schools, by 1985. A switch was made to focus more on language arts than grammar.
