To learn about what other people believe and why try the Religion and Spirituality section. //

Shouldn't that read, "To learn about what other people believe why not try the Religion and Spirituality section?"

Or perhaps not. ;o)

I doubt that the Ed will reply during the weekend.

If he does correct the error, I would like to see it read :-

"To learn about what other people believe or disbelieve, why not try the Religion and Spirituality section?"

Sorry if I am being pedantic.

Ron.

I think there is a comma missing...

"To learn about what other people believe and why, try the Religion and Spirituality section"

[ChuckFickens]

Or possibly even two comma's

"To learn about what other people believe, and why, try the Religion and Spirituality section"

Just stick to atheism Moani; at present there is a huge waiting list of applicants to join the spelling and grammar police.

LOL.

[woofgang]

how about "for a good old ding dong that gets you nowhere fast try the Religion and Spirituality section?"




no?
I'll get me coat.....

[gingejbee]

Two comma's? or two commas?

[mike11111]

"Or possibly even two comma's "

I trust, Chuck , that in good time you will have the good grace to apologise fulsomely for the egregious use of the redundant apostrophe.

[Bambiagain]

Commas, no question. As for two commas, that's a matter of personal choice (Oxford comma or no Oxford comma?).

[ChuckFickens]

LOL, Ginge... opps :)

Come on Chuck....Have you been drinking as I have. I think you meant "Oops". :-)

Those who snigger at the apparent significance, or lack thereof, of a comma, would do well to consult the the case of Sir Roger Casement, hanged in 1916 for treason. As an Irishman, the court had to decide whether or not he owed allegiance to the King and that his actions in encouraging the smuggling of arms to Ireland were therefore treasonous or not. Statute law was traditionally written without punctuation so it befell the courts to interpret them in case of doubt. Unfortunately for Casement it was decided that the putative comma should be in another place other than that his defence team suggested, therefore he was condemned as a traitor. He has gone down in history as "The man who was hanged on a comma".

Most of you seem to have read this differently to me. I wasn't thinking about commas, I thought Ed had left a 'not' and a question mark out, but I see what you mean now.

Mike11111, don't be so rude.

[mike11111]

"Mike11111, don't be so rude."
Moani, as an officer and a gentleman, a scholar and all -round raconteur, a lover of fine wine and food, I would never be rude to a lady. It's just that at times you make it so hard to resist.

In the wilderness,when Our Lord was led thither to be tempted of the Devil (according to the scriptures), he resisted all the delights that Satan had to offer him. However, I do not have the divine strength bestowed upon Him, thus, when you attack me, I am beset by Satan's wiles and feel forced to take the p!ss, even though I know truly that it's naughty. Yet no doubt the Almighty has greater plans for me than man can ever encompass..

Your reputation precedes you - and you are very clearly none of those things.
