Commas can get confusing! Plus, people have differing opinions on their use. I hope this post was helpful to you!

I wish I had gone to this one. 🙂

I find it hard to edit out words, or opening lines, although I do often take out paragraphs if they feel unnecessary to the over all piece.

Oh, Kim, I don’t doubt there are a few extra commas in this post. As you said, nobody’s perfect. The funny thing I find with commas is that many people disagree on the “proper” way to use them.
I’m also a bit of a snob when it comes to a blog post with too many errors. I’ll stop reading as well. There’s a difference between missing an error and just being sloppy, in my opinion.
Thanks for stopping by!

I can always find errors in my writing. We’re also our worst critics! I’m planning on a resources post right now. Stay tuned.

I try to proof read all of my posts before publishing. Unfortunately, a few always get missed and I scramble to fix them before anyone else notices. I’m kind of a grammar freak even though I’m certain I need a few refresher courses.
I’m not perfect so I don’t expect perfection. Case in point: I did notice a couple unnecessary commas in this post but reminded myself that we can’t catch everything. Not trying to be an obnoxious pain in the butt by the way. Just an observation. =)
Now, does it make me a bit of a snob if I admit I stop reading any blog with too many errors? I have no patience or interest in any blog that cannot be bothered with proof reading before hitting publish. A few typos is one thing but multiple errors that are beyond the typical typo is another.

Love this post! My sister and I always say that we think we were absent the day they taught grammar in school. I’m trying to make up for it now though: I have a copy of my father’s grammar text book from the 1950s and I’m not afraid to use it!
