Not flaming but teasing and making some points which you've ommitted twice now. I like your thread for it's not about red potatoes or brown mushrooms.

Although the 26 points are fairly good to follow, how people communicate their ideas depends
on more factors than what's clamsily said there. With all due respect, there are formal
and informal ways to share messages either orally or in a written way, and then there
are so many issues you have addressed, in my opinion, wrong for a purpose to debate it.
Well, I am sorry, if I am using my commas or conjunctions incorrectly.
It's supposed to be a lighthearted look at English grammar. I can only assume that when you wrote 'clamsily', you were being flippant since it cannot be excused as a 'typo'. On a QWERTY keyboard, the 'A' and 'U' are too far apart, lol.
