Ahh ok I see that nowThe first looks like the parents are humpty dumpty and lady gaga. The lack of a comma between humpty dumpty and lady gaga makes them seem a pairing, especially because parents are two people.
The second loves humpty dumpty, lady gaga and her parents.
I didn't understand this. But think it is because the first is a declaration to tinker that it is hot. The second is a declaration that tinker is hot... I think he was being optimistic.I don’t mean to continue to expose my ignorance but Huh?? Lol
Dirk, outside it is hot. // Dirk, outside is hot.I don’t mean to continue to expose my ignorance but Huh?? Lol

You, at least, sound very emphatic.These grammar rules are strict! Next thing I know @gennypearl will be telling me that it’s incorrect to use 9 consecutive exclamation points!!!!!!!!!

I think that the only way I’ll truly learn my lesson is that for every grammar error that I make from now on I must PayPal $1 to @LaSorcia, does that sound reasonable to everyone?caught you !

Whether to use a numeral or to spell out a number as a word is a matter of style. For general writing,
most guides agree that you should use words for the numbers one through nine

I think that was improper usage of asterisks.P**p*l has limits on how much it can handle.... it might C*R*A*S*H !
I think that was improper usage of asterisks.
(oh, seriously though - due to some copyright (or copywrong) laws, and usages of public domain official legal names , and other secret reasons . (like web-crawlers/ sphyders/ search engines/ ai ) . alternate characters are sometimes useful to avoid unwanted legal type attention, etc etc et al ad nauseum ipso facto ala-mode ..... )I think that was improper usage of asterisks.
I think as written, I'd interpret it as "as does Matthew and Mark". The phrase set apart with the commas as a side remark. IOW, you could write the sentence as "These texts detail the seige and focus on the city as the accounts in Matthew and Mark do."Hey so check this out, I read a sentence last night and it immediately made me think of this thread. Look how this 2nd sentence can be read two different ways, this was from my Luke commentary...
“The most central argument is that the eschatological discourses (Luke 19:41-44; 21:20-24) assume a post-70 date. These texts detail the seige and focus on the city, rather than on the temple alone, as the accounts in Matthew and Mark do.”
If you weren’t familiar with all 3 synoptics what would that last comma mean? It could look confusing to a lot of people between “As does Matthew and Mark” or “As opposed to Matthew and Mark”?
The commentary is a more technical one and he says from the introduction that he will be comparing Luke to Mark and Matthew quite often.I don't know why the phrase would be included unless it meant "as opposed to". I think it is likely a mistake and should read: These texts detail the seige and focus on the city rather than on the temple alone as the accounts in Matthew and Mark do.
A bigger problem here is that the word 'siege' is misspelled.Hey so check this out, I read a sentence last night and it immediately made me think of this thread. Look how this 2nd sentence can be read two different ways, this was from my Luke commentary...

You can't just ommit punctuation when you are unsure how the sentence should be parsed. This did nothing to its ambiguity, but merely made it even sloppier. The first part of the sentence is a clear independant clause, so some form of punctuation must grammatically follow it in writing.I think as written, I'd interpret it as "as does Matthew and Mark".

Note the lack of commas.
