Re: Comma Splice 4 Lines into my DS
This is meant to be a humorous parody of neurotic law school applicants, right?

Re: Comma Splice 4 Lines into my DS
As much as I like to integrate humor into my daily mishaps, I am (sadly) not parodying my mistake. This is a serious request for opinions.

1. You need to examine your life choices, because something has gone terribly wrong somewhere.mes10d wrote:As much as I like to integrate humor into my daily mishaps, I am (sadly) not parodying my mistake. This is a serious request for opinions.
2. There's not actually anything wrong with that sentence, you know. Plus it's in a spoken quotation, so the grammar rules can be relaxed a bit.
3. Neurotically insisting on replacing a DS containing such a minor error (assuming there was an error, which there isn't) would hurt your chances about 9000 times more than a missing comma.

I left out an entire word in the first sentence of my PS that I sent to five schools.
They didn't seem to notice.

Your sentence is not grammatically incorrect. Inserting a comma would make it so
Just relax

Re: Comma Splice 4 Lines into my DS
Rinkrat, Scoobers, Theodore, and Gravitas - thank you all for the honest (& humorous!) feedback. My neuroticism gets the best of me on bad days, and today was the worst. Going to delete the OP and drown in a G&T now.
