If you know, I have a lot of problems with commas. I'm comma obsessed! No matter how many times I go back and delete a bunch of them, my wonderful beta is still finding the need to delete more of them usually. >.< While I couldn't find something fun and easy to help me remember, I did find some things that are helpful for other grammar trouble. Yes, these are from a comical site. Surprisingly, they aren't wrong. O.o They are ways to help with semicolons, apostrophes, and some misspelled words. They have a weird way of telling you how to use them in different situations. Though, because of that, they seem to stick in my mind really well. And so, without further ado: The Onion pages


WARNING ON THIS SITE: Sometimes it has some links to its other comical imagery and conversation that may be inappropriate. I suggest if you don't want to find yourself reading something inappropriate, don't click them.>.< I was surprised to see how very mild these three links were, considering some of the ones they do have. (Though, not all are bad. Some just tell how evil printers are, or why you shouldn't give you Tyrannosaurus Rex cocaine.) O.o I repeat. This IS an odd site.

Thanks. I have had that site bookmarked for a looong time now. I just have a hard time remember the comma rules. So, I'm searching for any oddity or even a little rhyming song to help me remember them better. I always do find myself on this site though, when I just can't figure something out.... Unless I'm so tired I can't figure it out, or in slap happy hour. Then, I ask my poor beta about it, and she tells me in very simple words... Or rips off my comma key. Either or. *starts thanking her in my thoughts again, since she's currently not on*
