Last One To Post Here Wins

I thought we agreed the execution of that suspension was irresponsible and hypocritical.

 
 
No, you agreed.  No one else was a part of that agreement.  

 

[TallTree01]

Oh...

 

[eaglesaquarium]

This page is nullified, you'll be eligible on page 242 now.

 

[TallTree01]

Bullpoop! For what crime do I deserve this extra time?

 

[eaglesaquarium]

Continuing to post during your suspension from the thread.  The suspension doesn't really start until you start to serve, you know.  

 

[Paradise3]

Jeez... Talk about abusing your power!

 

[TallTree01]

I thought the suspension was only of me winning not posting.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

AHA!
 
No capital letters mid-sentence, except for proper nouns.
 
As it's your first offence, I am inclined to be lenient, and therefore ban you from this thread for 2 posts.
 
And THAT, my friend, is your proof. Oh, yes.

To be fair, an ' and ' should not come after a comma.

Which means you lose!

 
See Paradise, TT falsely corrected TLM's comma usage.  A comma before a conjunction separating two independent clauses is proper comma usage.  It is not a necessary usage, but using it is correct.  I posted a link to a site regarding proper comma usage and quoted the relevant rule.
 
 
Just policing this thread.  There's been some rampant poor grammar and misspellings recently.  It's a crime against the English language, regardless of the continent on which you live - and these crimes will no longer go unpunished!   

I thought the suspension was only of me winning not posting.

I suppose we could do that, but we'd have to extend the duration, as your posts will push the thread forward continually, bringing a quicker end to the suspension....
 
 
Present your case before the court:
 

 

[TallTree01]

It is illegal in Australian grammar to have a comma before a conjunction. I was simply instructing the way I myself was instructed, this is why the ban is wrong.

 

[Supraman]

Hey I served out my suspension haha. So should he.

 

[TallTree01]

Your suspension was well deserved though. There is a difference you see.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

It is illegal in Australian grammar to have a comma before a conjunction. I was simply instructing the way I myself was instructed, this is why the ban is wrong.

 
 
 
I provided proof that TLM's post was grammatically accurate when declaring the sentence.  In order for your appeal to be upheld, you must provide similar proof from an Australian source.  It must be reputable, and not a wiki.

 

[TallTree01]

In Australian English, the serial comma is not used. This means that usually in a list no comma is placed before ‘and’; for example:
This essay will investigate the roles of the Parliament, the Ministers and the Judiciary.
In American English, this would be:
This essay will investigate the roles of the Parliament, the Ministers, and the Judiciary.
