My only language is English, and now as a university student whose life is full of essay writing, these videos have been invaluable for refining my work.
We're so happy to hear that you are finding the videos useful, KD! Good luck with all those essays!
I've been speaking this language for almost of my life, and I finally get clarity on this particular thing without even searching for it too. lol
We're delighted to hear that you found the video helpful, FahmiZFX!
The video highly helped, and thanks for this series
Thanks so much for your kind words, Shakuntala! We're delighted to hear that you find the series useful!
Thank you so much guys ❤
You're very welcome, @atharvsingh3410 ! Thanks for all the comments!
🗣awesome video, thanks💨
Thanks so much, Side Winder!
Thank you for clarifying. May I know which is the correct one?
a. Hello John.
b. Hello, John.
Great question, Doreen! In the way that you are using the word (hello as a direct greeting), you use a comma (Hello, John.)
You would not believe how much of my time as an editor is spent dealing with commas, when they're put in all the wrong places or left out where they're needed. And people like to argue over them. I call it comma drama.
Ha! Well, we're certainly trying to limit the comma drama. Thanks for the comment, gdwriter!
*Thank you very much! But what about the perpetual mystery of Oxford comma?*
Ha! It is a controversial subject, isn't it? We hope to get into it in a video in the very near future on when NOT to use commas.

Poor baby, naughty lime.
Ha! We like that image.
