Use proper punctuation and capitalization please.
It is the difference between
I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse
And I helped my Uncle jack off a horse
Or
Let's eat, Grandma vs Let's eat Grandma.
@dz i don't make the grammar rules, i just point them out.
@HardisonParker
Grammar rules have interesting history. There has always been tension between rules and non-conformity.

I like grammar.
When I break a grammar rule, it may be
- deliberate, to communicate a tone, nuance or style
- accidental, cuz I have dexterity challenges
- social, to welcome engagement from anyone

@HardisonParker You probably have heard of the book on punctuation titled "Eats, shoots and leaves.
@EloiseHamann i am. I love those types of books.
@HardisonParker Why use proper punctuation when using it incorrectly is so funny? 😆
