I was proofreading a post and came across a startling statement, “I am sorry I have a life.” Somehow that didn’t seem to be what I was saying. It only took a moment to realize I had left out a comma.
It should have said, “I am sorry, I have a life.”
It certainly changes the meaning. The commas of life are important. It is that “stop” or “pause” in “stop and smell the roses.”
Add a few commas today.
