Writing Tip of the Week




Did you know that commas can save lives? There is a world of difference between these two sentences:

1. Let's eat, Grandpa!

The comma in the first sentence indicates that you are speaking to Grandpa.



.


2. Let's eat Grandpa!

The lack of a comma in the second sentence indicates that Grandpa is the direct object and the eating will be done to Grandpa.
