I'm giving up drinking for a month.
Sorry, bad punctuation.
I'm giving up. Drinking for a month.
And people wonder why punctuation is important! [bigwhistle]
And here was I thinking that starting a sentence with and, was grammatically incorrect. [bigwhistle]
And does it really matter a toss? If the sentence is understood that has to be a win.[smilebigeye]
Wotcha mean?
Of course it matter. That is the whole point of the post that started this discussion. Without the correct punctuation, the sentence may not be understood or interpreted correctly.
Further examples of how different punctuation changes the meaning:
Mary said, "John is a fool."
VS
"Mary," said John, "is a fool."
and
Let's eat Grandma.
VS
Let's eat, Grandma.
help Jack off a horse
