Punctuation: the Hiatus
I have already covered all the cases where the use of comma in English differs from that in Portuguese. Well, there are some cases where everything is different, like the way you English speakers write dates. It's so different that there's no way to compare or mix up.
Because we're approaching the holidays, I'm going to discontinue the posts on punctuation until next year, when I plan to discuss semicolons, dashes, ellipses, and so on.
Thanks for all your comments! I've been learning a lot. I wish I could have concentrated the discussion in one journal, instead of splitting it among four journals, but alas, it's hard to please everyone. (Some people don't like being redirected to other journals.)
[ETA: No, I'm not leaving! I'm just discontinuing this specific thread for now.]
