Wgaf about an Oxford comma

Well, well, well... Looks like a-punk just showed up itt.

I thought so. It was quite fortuitous. I think it bodes well that she approached me based upon being well dressed and well spoken.

We shall see!

it wasn't that you were well dressed and spoken, it also shows a certain level of maturity and a lot of hard work to be where you both were.  whatever you've both been through will undoubtedly be harder than any work she may offer you and it shows that you potentially are up to the task.  she knows these things.

Yep.  Well put, clams.

the Oxford Comma--either use it, or don't.

Also:

Thanks for the advice. What specifically is wrong with the grammar?

Don't use a comma there.

Wrong. (You) either use it, or (you) don't.

You don't use commas with correlative conjunctions.

I would think you would if you have two independent clauses

This. To be fair, you could use a comma or not, and it would be perfectly fine either way. If you use a comma, then you're repeating the implied imperative subject (you).

Hate grammar, love commas, I use the eff out of them, probably incorrectly,

[Brock Landers]

goEMAW.  Come for the #LUNCHACKERS thread, stay for the grammar discussion.

For which you're applying.

And I suppose you think it's not "proper grammar" to begin a sentence with a conjunction? 

how do you feel about using a colon immediately following a verb? that one is irritating

[Tobias]

i just put in a comma or period wherever i would pause when speaking and call it a day.  the only thing that can go wrong is dumbasses not reading it in my voice

This is the standard that writing should have, grammar is for anal nerds

[SdK]

I agree. I try to follow the rules as best I can, but I am terrible at grammar. I'll just keep a grammar friend for editing as necessary.

I think "farther they could have went" works best here.

Big fan. I usually use it after saying something along the lines of "I have to crap."

Not only is Spracne a law student, but apparently, he is a distinguished linguist.  I, for one, am not surprised.
