When you are trying to communicate with other people, however, punctuation can make a difference. Do you see what I mean.

It was a fizzy blob. It was a busy blob. We made hasty retreat from its knob ...
... And we described it with adjectives.

Gee, I wonder why people who are programming chatbots would be interested in grammar ...

This is a poem decdicated to dogs everwhere. It is called I am, I will and I promise.
I am loyal and faithful to you alone
I will not eat your homework
I will not shed all over your house
I will protect your hopes and dreams
I will be with you forever
I promise to help and protect you
From the world both real and not
You are safe with me
For we are friends forever
I am loyal and faithful to you alone
I will not eat your homework
I will not shed all over your house
I will protect your hopes and dreams
I will be with you forever
I promise to help and protect you
From the world both real and not
You are safe with me
For we are friends forever

Now if only I could get my little brother to follow that code...

Here, drink this. It makes punctuation and grammer mistakes not hurt as bad.

Cool.
Not sure if the fact that you say I will not shed means that everything is opposite, and that you won't be friends forever.. *boggle* That's deep.

It's going to take something stiffer than chocolate, I'm afraid. You have to understand: grading papers is my day job. Explaining the difference between a colon and a semicolon is my bread and butter. And when I'm not doing that, I'm trying to teach poetry. So there's all sorts of hackle-raising going on over here.
I can't help it. I've been training for years to be this pedantic.
Now, will someone get that poem a visit from the Punctuation Fairy?
