Yes, well said. Basically, that's what this thread comes down to. And regarding this thread, the length of it really doesn't matter, as long as posters know how to use it.

All I can think of is that Facebook group, "'Let's eat Grandma!' or 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives."

True story:

I have a sister that lives north of Alpharetta, in Cumming, Ga. I was staying there once and I had friends driving in. The phone rings. I answer and ask where he is. His reply: "I'm close to Cumming." Laughter ensued.

Speaking of OVER YONDER, try this sentence:
Stray gator snapped at a man today.

NOTE: Seriously... that was the translation I got as we walked through a river today, and the folks said to look out for stray gator.

I am NOT kidding! The town was Ambararatra, Madagascar. Fortunately, the man survived the close call.
