    English is probably their second language

    Also, let me correct you

    Learn this. It’s basic grammar.

    You should really learn this. It’s basic punctuation

      Thank you for your understanding. Yes. English is my second language. Ps. I corrected the title to not burn some eyes.

      Not agreeing with the comment you’re referencing, but couldn’t a comma work there? English is my first language, and thought you could use a comma or period there.

      Maybe I just like commas.

        I’m far from an expert and I was only being pedantic because they were rude

        That being said, I think it should have a period since it’s two separate, complete thoughts. A semicolon might work, but I never figured out how to use those

          That’s fair. Their comment was rude and unwarranted. I’m no expert although I do write as a job (science though, doesn’t really matter as long as you can understand what I write). But I do try to slip semicolons in wherever I can.

          Edit: I think of them as spicy commas.
