Greatly explained how to put punctuations in/between the sentences:
- Fanboys: comma before FANBOYS (rule 3);
- Internal period (semicolon): Sentence; sentence (rule 2)
- Period: Sentence. Sentence (rule 1)
*special case: Sentence; transition word, sentence.
Thank you so much!

Brilliant job! It's just the matter of time for your contents to go viral. Just enamored the way you explained those abstruse concepts in ways so simple that no-one so far could have ever done it.

Hi Dr Taylor, can you teach about writing critical analysis? What should be the academic phrases and where I will put my voices in between the sentences. I really have a hard time writing critical analysis

[@peakdavid]

@@swetaghosh4437 Happy to help. Do you want critical analysis of a source, or the use of critical analysis in your work paper?

I am adding FANBOYS to my tool kit.

[@peakdavid]

Excellent! I always preferred BAY FONS--seems to give a better rhythm to the seven words.
