Anyone else notice that, this is (probably) the 666th topic in the Lugaru forum?

How do you come to that conclusion?

That comma that you placed in that sentence was completely unnecessary, and was quite grammatically incorrect.

I think Renegade's comma is correct but optional, while Invertin's is not correct.

No, there is no irony. As David said, the comma I placed in the sentence was optional. I could have left it out, but I didn't. Both ways are correct.

It is the same in David's post. He could have written it either as "I think Renegade's comma is correct but optional, while Invertin's is incorrect.", or as "I think Renegade's comma is correct, but optional, while Invertin's is incorrect."

However, Invertin's was placing a pause where there should be no pause.

Therefore, I'm right again. Thanks very much.

Don't mention thanking me for the grammar lesson. I do it as a hobbie more than a service.

I think you mean that it is a 'hobby' (plural 'hobbies').

I tried to win in one way and failed in a different way. But yeah that was retarded.

If you'd known it was incorrect, you would not have made the mistake. You know NOW obviously.

I put the comma there, realized it was wrong and thought "Oh screw it."

Posted.

There.

End of.

You lose.

Or it's a draw.

Or something.

there is a conjunction, but it's not joining two complete phrases. "Was quite grammatically incorrect." is not a complete sentence on it's own so there isn't a need for the comma there.

I am taking another linguistics class now because I didn't have enough writing credits; apparently "playwriting" didn't count as a writing class.

There is no need for one, but either way it is not grammatically incorrect. You can choose to omit or include it. I'm still right.

You don't believe that, and neither does anyone else.

No, Renegade, you're completely wrong. Cmyszka is quite correct. If you'd repeated the subject by saying "and _it_ was quite grammatically incorrect", it would've been acceptable, but in its current form your sentence is a grammatical atrocity and horribly ironic in its stupidity. (No, it's not "atrocity, and" since as a comma does not belong there...)
