Robipedia on tour

SCGS - Spontaneous Comma Generation Syndrome
A newly discovered mental disorder, whereby, the sufferer, often in , the most ridiculous and unxpected, places in a sentence inserts a comma for , no, or no known, reason. This disorder speaks of , the fear that many in society, face when , confronted with a comma, in which they turn from rational individuals into gibbering , illiterates.

Needless to say SCGS seems to have worked its way into my life and is causing me great distress.

Another tragic case . . . dear me. isn't there a hospice for this kind of thing?

Sid man - God gave us commas that we might bring order our of chaos and be able to express menaing within a sentence in a way that others will, understand.

So in this sense to place a comma in the correct place is close to being Like Jesus.


PLus it's all just a laugh to help me through a particularly laborious pice of proof reading
