I'll just leave this here

I thought I'd share this with some kindred spirits who do not tolerate, [sic] poor punctuation.

Help me resist the urge to scribble out that superfluous comma!

😱 shocking

Grrrr

Oh dear. 😂

Language develops and moves on. If it didn't we would all be speaking/writing medieval English.

Absolutely. But this isn't an example of that. The sentence makes no sense with a comma after "tolerate". A colon would have been OK (introducing the list of things they don't tolerate) but not really needed for such a short list.

I don't tolerate misuse of commas.

Eats, shoots and leaves…

Your feelings are valid. You should scribble on it.

I once, very childishly, added a " 'e " to my manager's comment in a goodbye card for a colleague. She'd written "your going to be missed".

Our local library had a printed sign pointing to the "TECKNOLOGY" section. There were many unflattering comments made, and the sign was removed after a few days.

Random unnecessary commas are not the way language evolves.

Ok, but what's that got to do with randomly adding commas?

I thought that was someone's bum sticking up on that picture. (On closer inspection it's a tongue.) Sorry, I mean it's a, tongue!

Misses point of, thread. (Sorry.) 😆

Why isn't there a full, stop after the word 'staff'?

I had a line manager who put a note on the board, saying 'Your a great bunch'. Edit to say that I really liked her. It was just the 'your' I didn't like.

Not necessary in this instance. For notices, you don't need full stops unless the sentences follow on like in a paragraph. But if you add a full stop for one, you'd need to do it for the others too to be consistent

Well, there's nothing wrong with consistency, is there? I think that 'Don't take it out on our staff.' is a complete sentence. In fact I see three sentences there. Each one starts with a capital letter so I wish each one ended with a full stop.

is sentence construction taught at all nowadays in schools doesn't it matter any more i know there are people on mumsnet who don't give a toss about sentences or punctuation by the way they write their careless posts i am not aiming that at you Connie i just mean in a general way

Yes I agree with your first 3 sentences. I wasn't saying they weren't sentences. It's just that it's quite common for notices/posters/bullet points etc to not have full stops at the end of sentences. As long as it's consistent it's ok
