CAZ'S PROFILE

I am also certain a comma has its rightful place where it currently is. Perhaps as a child I paid attention and learned how to use punctuation correctly.

Can you explain it to me, then? I'm not looking for an argument, I just want to know in what way I'm doing it wrong so that I can fix it in my writing in the future.

I've googled it. I've checked a Webster's. I haven't found any source that shows a comma being used correctly at the end of a declarative sentence.

Help me out here?

Info on semicolons:

The Wiki is the most helpful link I can find. I pretty much use them in place of conjunctions. So in this case, you could say, "Females don't hate us, but/however/although bitches like you do!"

It sounds better without that conjunction though. A comma can be used instead like Chana explained, as semicolons (unfortunately) mostly go unused now. For the most part, a semicolon shows that the second clause directly relates to the first and it might look a bit too awkward (or there is too long of a pause) to have them stand by themselves. A good example on the Wiki is: "I told John that his shoe was untied; he looked."

You could separate these two clauses with a comma, but it's much tidier to use a semicolon. OH and you can use them to tidy up lists, too. If you've got something that is usually divided by commas but you want it to be in a list at the same time, separating them with semicolons looks a lot nicer. For example with place names: "I have been to: Wales, UK; Toronto, Canada; Glasgow, Scotland.." or with descriptions: "I saw: the postman, who complimented my shoes; the butcher, the man with no fingers; the milkman, the crazed lunatic.."

(Sorry for hijacking your picture, Mmarage. I do think this game has promise if you improve your mapping a bit, though! :P)

Me realising you actually meant commas:

EDIT: HERP, I just realised you were talking about commas. Oh well, this was also a helpful lesson. In comparison to the semi-colon, a comma is used in basic lists without descriptions and things. They're also used to separate adjectives: "the big, blue tree"

Nowadays, you will usually see a comma where a semicolon belongs due to people not liking the semicolon. :( Oh, and if you use a conjunction then there's no need for a semicolon. You may want to put in a comma to tell the reader when to breathe: "I went to the shops, but before I could find the dragon, the shopkeeper ate my arms."

Part of me would really, really like to see FF8 redone and explained a lot better with a buttload more GFs/party members/perspectives, and definitely to show other SEEDs using GFs. Another part of me looks at what Squeenix decided to do when it came to Advent Children and FFX-2 and thinks they should just leave their games alone.

It'd be COOL if they did a game based entirely around Laguna's plotline, or maybe if you played as Cid or something.. I guess if they messed it up that badly, they could just ignore the remakes and let everyone assume it was never a part of the FF universe.

Thanks, I'm glad it's not too horribly simple so far. ^^ And thanks for the feedback on the building to both. I oftentimes need things to be pointed out or to have it sit for a while before I can really tell whether something looks right, and I can certainly see that it uhh.. well it looks less than great. I've fixed it up now, and while I'm less pleased with not having buildings pointing in different directions, it looks more natural now. I'd try to reupload it but Photobucket is being a wang. >:(

Why have I only now found this LP?! This is fantastic.

Please, PLEASE someone must do an LP of this game with the voices of Skwisgaar and Toki. :(
