FUCK!!...

This is not a grammer, spelling or even comma rant its a SPACING RANT!!!!

Actually it was puzzling me on why TIGGER doesn't put a space after a comma and is damn consistent with it.

Yes there are a ton of other mofos here (me too) that can't spell or use grammar correctly, but the missing space was something that just stuck out.

To tell you the truth, I've never seen the "rule" that states a space must be used after a comma. For the record, your non use of a comma before the word "and" in a series is acceptable. In grammar school you are taught to use a comma there BUT it is considered unnecessary by today's standards. I believe that they call this comma an "Oxford" comma or some such thing. Anyway, I will heretofore use a space after a comma to accommodate you as this seems to be an important issue for you. BTW I've never taken a typing course so that may be why I've never heard of this rule. Obviously, when handwriting a letter, for example, you wouldn't purposely place an empty space after a comma. Would you?

I put a space after a comma when handwriting. It's the way I was taught. But I'm old too.

Did you ever take a typing course? Ah who knows? I went to an inner city, hood rat school where I was stabbed after school during my 6th grade year. I have the scar to prove it. They probably didn't teach us half of what they were supposed to.

Yes. Three freaking years! Two years of Typing I because I flunk the first year because I kept breaking my damn fingers that year!

Then I had one year of Typing II.

Eh, I went to a hoodrat school myself. Part of the reason I eventually dropped out and got my GED so I could go to college. Fuck that school, the fighting, and everything else that happened there. I didn't learn shit.

Accept for Enlish Lit and Typing.

Those were also the only classes I went to regularly and didn't skip.

Yeah I guess if I was running out of space. lol

Technically both usages are considered correct although personally I prefer to use a comma.

Not trying to bash, but I've never seen anyone who doesn't put a space after a comma (except for the internet, of course).
