Cor! You write good, dunnit?

Best 'ad to say it though, but.

1. "Prepositions are not words to end sentences with." is an example of
irony. In your case, wasted irony.

2. Try to use punctuation correctly: ie "But, in both cases..."


It seems you imagine my speech would pause after the word 'but', is that
the case? I wrote that line exactly as I'd say the sentence, I'd not
pause after the word 'but'.


3. Try to understand sentence formation - and for what commas can be used -
got that, sonny? (expl: both sentences end with ", sonny", not just "sonny".


I can see how if I'd written something along the lines of - 'The sky is
blue. But, sometimes clouds obscure the sky.' the word 'But,' would be
correct, in that context it sounds correct.

In a single sentence I'd not make a pause, there's no point in doing so,
it's a one line interruption.

4. And never start a sentence with a conjunction.


Let that be a lesson to you.


Boring, boring, boring.

You and Des should meet up.
