Take a shower, shine your shoes/ You got no time to lose/ You are young men you must be living/ So go now you are forgiven.

Grammar Is Important

Grammar is one of the most important things in the English language. I could argue about grammar all day.  Here is some vitally important grammar in action.

The Oxford Comma
The Oxford Comma is the difference between:
I had a party and I invited the strippers, Hitler, and Stalin.
OR
I had a party and I invited the strippers, Hitler and Stalin.
I'm sure that two evil dictators would make fine strippers.  Anyone want a lap dance?

Comma Usage in General
A well placed comma is the difference between:
Let's eat, Grandma!
And
Let's eat Grandma!
Grammar.  Saving grandmothers from cannibalism one comma at a time.

Capitilization and Commas
I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse.
I helped my uncle jack off a horse.
In one instance you are helping a relative off of an equine.  In the next, you are helping said relative masturbate said equine.

Like I said: Grammar is important!
