The cool thing about that quote is that it has actually two meanings:
I could have said "incredibly hot" referred to me, but as well "your profile says you're girl", And an incredibly hot one I must say.  It depends on the way you read it, whole sentences can be twisted just by switching some comma.... 1-Puffin says, TheVoid is hot. 2-Puffin, says TheVoid, is hot. But since I'm a narcissist bastard, I was probably addressing me.  Or not? :whistle: At the end, it's just a joke. |

You seem to know the tricks of the english language pretty well for someone who lives in a non-english speaking country. Or do comma's also come up in italian?

I was under the impression placement of commas created about the same effect in every language.
Even in Latin, hence the example of a typical sentance the Oracle of Delphi would say: Boy not girl (when asked what gender someone's child would be) This can be read as "Boy, not girl "or "Boy not, girl" In this case its a boy named Joshua so can we please get back on topic, gentlemen?

Sorry still
 .But I though all different languages had different ways of punctuation. At my school there are many lebanese people and they always say that words in their language have no meaning in our language, or that there is just simply no word for it. Because of these differences I thought punctuation and language styles through all languages were different. |

But the official language of Lebanon is Arabic... I'm not sure if there even are commas in arabic.
I do know that in most languages the comma has about the same function, be that language English, German or even Hebrew.

I looked it up in my Workbook Arabic (basic) there is a comma but it looks different and often serves a different function.

I thought there may have been something like that. But I thought it would also happen in all languages. Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up Stroggy.
Back on topic. Classic, if your sister ever sends you a picture, I'm sure we'd all love to see it. |
