It all depends on where the punctuation is, LOL!
๐
Consider the sentence, “I am going to the store.”
Say it out loud, putting emphasis on the “I.” Repeat, putting emphasis on “am.” Keep going, with each word in the sentence…
See how the implication of the sentence changes, just by changing which word is emphasized? That is how conversations lose much context, when people only utilize “social” media to “speak” with each other.
Fascinating, no?

It is fascinating! I think one of my favorite examples of comma mistakes is the phrase, “Let’s eat Grandma!” (Adding the comma correctly changes the meaning: “Let’s eat, Grandma!” And no doubt saves Grandma! ๐)

You know what I like best about this post Kat ?
It’s a humorous example of how people can find offence in the most innocent of a msg, regardless of intent..
So many times ppl shoot an accusation first, then ask questions later rather than just asking for clarity first, regarding whether something is pc or not..
I really like this for that ๐

You are so tight about that Pan! Especially when so much of our modern communication in in written form, a missing comma can completely lose its intended meaning! ๐

Even the spoken word is the prey of the ultra pc crowd, to the point of ridiculously twisting and spinning quotes out of context..
And when it’s with obvious intent to create chaos, very rarely are they called on the carpet for it….
I came to a point in my life yrs ago that pc is pure crap..
I communicate as respectfully as a person will allow me..If something I communicated is taken wrong and I’m not respectfully asked to clarify, then piss on them.. They aren’t worth my time or effort and obviously will make of it what they will regardless of explanation.. ๐

Go Pan!!! Yes I agree! We have gotten way too thin-skinned if you ask me. Like you, I’ve stopped tip-toeing around. Life is too short to be on guard from the PC police at every turn! ๐
