| MichaelXX2 #119479 1 year ago |
You're supposed to pause there. |

That is, not what a comma is, for. |

It really isn't how you're supposed to use a comma. You learn to English. |

Commas do not mean "pause here for a sec". That's what ellipsis are for. |
| Craft #119534 1 year ago |
An ellipses would be more correct, but it isn't wrong to put a coma there. It's just never done since people would think it's wrong. |

Using a comma is an acceptable method for notifying the reader to pause |
| Anonymous #119572 1 year ago |
Only when you're separating certain parts of the sentence. Like:
"Hey, Pinkie Pie? Would you kindly let me fuck you in the mouth?" Like that. Or... "Only if all of you, the viewers, would like to see me get fucked in the mouth." "That is, deep enough" is fucking wrong. And you should be ashamed for being so goddamned wrong, you fucking idiot. |

This discussion, deep enough. |

A comma does not simply indicate a pause. It has specific rules. Unnatural stops like this are NOT how you use them.
Given that it's a macro you could have just separated them into their own lines . . . |

Comma's are used to seperate clauses. You can use it for a pause but I don't think it is appropriate here |

Ellipses are not for a period of time. They're to show you're not using the whole part of a sentence from a quote. |

@anon358 AND to indicate a pause or trailing off. |

Or my favorite ellipses abuse: Indicating a pause for facial expression or gesture after a question. Sometimes I even combine them by using only two dots in the ellipses, that's how crazy I am.
