      I was mocked by people for a few years, mainly my Ph.D. supervisor, until my dad explained it to me. He said: "In Greek the comma is where you pause if you were reading aloud — in English it's specific to very very certain cases only."

      I don't think I fully understand the rule of commas... but I've also come to think people who criticize others (esp those whose first lang isn't English) for the misuse of commas (whatever that means) are mainly assholes so I don't spend that much time worrying about my comma.

      I agree 100%. I think it's hard to say with the comma splice as I believe it is a genuine grammatical error in the same way in Greek having the wrong ending for a noun declension is a genuine grammatical error. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_splice …

      A genuine grammatical error is not some kind of moral mistake and definitely should not be policed in a rude way. At the end of the day making mistakes is totally fine and those who enjoy correcting others have deeper issues than a person who makes grammatical mistake...

      I would rather say "that's not a mistake" (even if I thought it was) to a little language fascist who tries to correct others, than to go around correcting others though! Context matters! And of course all these rules are up for discussion and change whether we want it or not.

      Not helpful at all! Mocking is always easier than explaining, particularly if you do not know yourself the reasons clearly. And when these criticisms come from people who can only speak a languge (often barely), "asshole" sounds right to me.

      It's almost always monolinguals! You are so right!

      Also I love how they think everybody knows that the comma splice is wrong (from birth? how?) when no other language has this BS feature. "Why do you think a Spanish-speaker (for example) knows about your assclown secret punctuation ritual, you Englishino? Grow up."

      LOL. Moreover, proper writing, literature, never follows strict grammatical rules.
