You spread commas liberally ... Leopardi would say today if he read some texts. The opposite problem, however, is when the reader is forced into continuous apnea, because the writer snubs commas, consumes them moderately, economizes on his writing. I remember a postcard written by a friend, many years ago: it was just as if she had taken a handful of commas and scattered them randomly over the text. A typical incorrect use of the comma is similar to this Nobel Prize passage: The soldier obeyed the order and immediately went to check the empty house. "Free sir!" he shouted.
Yet this seemingly insignificant symbol can determine the understanding of the text, so much so that, without a comma in the right place, the entire passage may seem absurd. As? Let's continue reading. A comma to Phone Number Data save the human species A farmer has a calf, and the farmer's mother is also the calf's mother. Does this sound strange to you? It is a phrase that also circulates with a variant, which however does not change its meaning. I remember her like this from high school. Therefore, it does not appear to us that the human species is interfertile with the bovine species, apart from the Minotaur, right? So how do you explain this phrase? Putting the comma (or even a semicolon) where needed: A farmer has a calf and the farmer's mother is also the calf's mother. Okay, so there's a farmer who owns both the calf and the cow that gave birth to it.
That poor mother of hers can sleep soundly. The comma in subordinate and coordinated sentences What's the point of a comma? To give a short pause in reading, a break to facilitate the understanding of a period. Let's use two examples to clarify: If I had arrived earlier, I would have been able to catch the train. What is the subordinate clause? In this case the first. And, as you can see, I used a comma to distinguish the two sentences. In some cases the absence of the comma can also create doubts about understanding the text: If I feel good with you I feel better. Here there are two alternatives: If I feel good, I feel better with you. If I feel good with you, I feel better. When I write for the blog, I forget about everything else.
