Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Strange american grammar, a comma would have been perfectly acceptable on that first question.


You missed it in the first question, and you missed it on your own post. I'll correct it for you.

com·ma P Pronunciation Key (km)
n.
Grammar. A punctuation mark ( , ) used to indicate a separation of ideas or of elements within the structure of a sentence.
A pause or separation; a caesura.

Actually you are wrong.

elmicker's message meant to be:

Strange american grammar...

The second sentence is not a justification of the first, and therefore the comma is perfectly acceptable.

And he is using american as a common noun so it is fine, american does not actually mean a single state. You do not spell african with a capital "A", do you?
