Oh Democrats. You slay me.


First I have to get you to watch this video clip because it’s about Democrats and I enjoy Bob Hope.



Now onto the subject of this post: Democrats and their pinheadedness.
Take a gander at the billboard some of the brightest of America has put up for all to see.

Correction: Democrats make Grammarians cry.


Now what we see here is what we would call the oh so famous comma splice. Sounds pretty nasty doesn’t it? Well it will be if the grammar police find you and demand a public apology to the poor for making such a mistake in including them in such a pinheaded move.
A comma splice happens when two independent clauses are connected by a comma. Unfortunately for our little comma friend, he does not have the strength to complete such a feat. Instead we get a sad comma and angry grammarians. Our comma needs some help. What you can do to fix this blunder is replace your sad little comma with a coordinating conjunction such as and, but, for, and so. If you’re feeling particularly brave you could replace the comma with a colon or semicolon. This would make your poor comma so much happier.

So remember kids, don’t be an ignorant Democrat.
