Grammar Allergy

The first person was continuously using poor grammar. Since the second person was allergic to grammatical errors, he kept getting sicker and sicker from the continuous usage.

Oxford Comma Rules

The Oxford Comma helps resolve ambiguity in a sentence. With the Oxford Comma in this example, it is clear that the invitees were three separate groups. Without it, it seems as if the group was just the rhinoceri, and their names were Washington and Lincoln.

Comma Rules

The comma is used when separating introductory elements. Using a comma, the sentence would introduce the command of eating (Let us eat!) and then who the command is being directed towards (Grandpa). Without the comma, the sentence is suggesting that the command is to eat Grandpa.

Snaps on Bad Grammar

This cartoon is funny because the English teacher was arrested because of her inability to keep a sign using incorrect grammar. The English teacher saw that the sign read 'Do you got milk?' She couldn't stand the sign being incorrect, so she crossed off the 'got' and added 'have any'. The cops arrested her for vandalizing property.

Facebook questioning of commas

On Facebook, I noticed a friend of mine had posted a status asking if any 'English buffs' knew whether  a comma goes before or after the 'and' in a sentence, or not at all. Some friends had commented saying no comma, while others stated that because of the Oxford comma, and to make the sentence sound more grammatically correct, a comma should be placed before the 'and'.

I believe without the Oxford comma, the sentence is incomplete and can be taken a different way than the meaning originally intended.

A Second Oxford Comma Cartoon

With the oxford comma, the sentence implies that the individual had eggs, toast, and orange juice separately. Without it, the sentence implies that the individual had eggs and toast with orange juice on it.

Oxford Comma

This cartoon shows that with the oxford comma, the sentence shows that we invited 3 different groups of individuals: the strippers, JFK, and Stalin. Without the oxford comma, the sentence implies that only 2 individuals were invited, and those are the 2 strippers, JFK and Stalin. Without the comma, the sentence is interpreted incorrectly, and comically.
