Commas!

Misplaced commas are one of my worst pet-peeves. They drive me crazy! For example, "Bob, drove ninety miles-per-hour around town." You actually don't need a comma at all in this sentence.

 Or "Sara, bright eyed sat down to eat the chocolate." Yikes! There needs to be a comma after "bright eyed" to make this sentence clear.

While there are many, many ways to misuse a comma that are not included in this video by TED Ed, I figured you would laugh a bunch and learn something too! Enjoy!

  1. The end made me laugh! So, do you use the serial comma or not? I know I always do...

    1. I would use it, but not being allowed to switch back and forth for clarity makes it a hard choice!
