Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

Is it correct to use the comma in the following sentence?
I am not disagreeing, but it all depends on what the law is.
I think you leave out the comma. "It all depends on what the law is" cannot be an independent clause.

ETA: On second thought, I think it can be an independent clause, and thus the comma is warranted.

The reason I ask is because sometimes I grammar check. I can't believe how many commas it wants me to use, and it wants me to use "too" also. H*LL NO ON "TOO"!!!

Random: the best burger I've ever had was the Brasserie Le Burger Wagyu Beef Burger at Ostrow Brassiere in Miami. Life changing
Quote from: Naftuli19 on December 04, 2024, 07:09:47 PM
To my defense its a French Brassiere not an American burger joint... BUT, i also forgot that it was one of the recommended items here ;D ;D ;D)
