I hate the character, Brooke, on Bold and Beautiful.

1. What's the the commas?

Why would you need to set apart Brooke from the sentence.

2. That's how I learned use of commas.

But these days, commas aren't used as much as they used to be.

3. I used to watch years ago when Storm and Ridge and such were around.

annnnd, FFS, I'm googling it and they're still around.
Weird.

Had to quit as nothing ever happened, yet everything seem right. on. the. verge. of. happening. foreverrrr.

4. And I miss that. I was taught when you have a series of 3 in a sentence,

include a comma BEFORE the and.

For example: Axis powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan.

Nowadays, you usually see a sentence like this with NO comma before the and.

I guess I didn't get the memo when they changed the rules.

[Kat45]

12. Yes. I do some writing and proofreading, and the new rules screw me up

Grammar used to be second nature to me. Now I'm always second-guessing myself, not sure which way to go with the commas. And I'm a person who always used a lot of commas, using one wherever you'd pause when reading. I think it makes sentences easier to understand, but now it seems that isn't wanted. Sometimes when I'm reading something now, I have to re-read a sentence a few times to make sense out of it because there are no commas.

[raccoon]

13. You and me both!

"sometimes...I have to re-read a sentence a few times to make sense out of it because there are no commas."

10. Come to order! Final Comma Ruling!

Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements, as in "The Founders Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, is falling down." By "parenthetical element," we mean a part of a sentence that can be removed without changing the essential meaning of that sentence. The parenthetical element is sometimes called "added information." This is the most difficult rule in punctuation because it is sometimes unclear what is "added" or "parenthetical" and what is essential to the meaning of a sentence.

Reading the aforementioned phrase above, you can say "I hate Brooke on B&B" but not vice versa. "I hate the character on B&B" has no meaning and changes the meaning of the sentence, so the parenthetical use of commas in this sentence is incorrect.

Comma usage overturned. ;)




And please don't take this seriously, I merely find it a funny exercise. I also find it extremely difficult, to figure out, where to, put commas.,
:D

5. I always wanted to do a parody "The Chicken and the Ugly"

[LynneSin]

7. Wouldn't that be the story of the Free Republic

:hide:

8. But FR isn't up to the intelligence level of a soap.

[bigwillq]

6. Me too

Although B&B has been a lot better than Y&R lately, imo.

[The Wielding Truth]

9. Yea. B&B has concentrated it's scripts on a smaller group of

of characters. It's newer than Y&R. Maybe that's why. I love Taylor and I think that Ridge is so clueless to keep forgiving Brooke. Stephani Sr. has had to bow to Brooke for trying to bring justice to Brooke for her sex motivated life and again Taylor takes the hit. I wanted Brooke to get her comeuppance.

11. So which Forrestor is Brooke fucking these days

:rofl:

14. You should watch "One Life to Live" instead.

Just kidding. :puke:
