I can't tell you how frustrated I am. It bugs the heck out of me that I keep seeing a comma separating complete sentences in news stories and in a book I'm reading right now. What is wrong with a semicolon or even a period? Why do these writers feel the need to use commas? Don't they know they are writing run-on sentences? Did I miss out on the grammar lesson about all the wonderful uses of a comma?
Well, it's not surprising to see journalists using grammar incorrectly, but I do find it frustrating when I read books and there are obvious errors. There aren't enough people in this world who love grammar like we do.
