I am surprised by the replies. :/

My spelling is weak and I make mistakes so I am not bothered.

VGC and the sites I've been visiting have made me a better person at lots of stuff. So to answer your question, No.

Ugh! You forgot to put a comma after visiting! I can't stand improper grammar! :/

Argh! Feel free to correct me each time you encounter a mistake in my post.

I always hesitate about commas and when to use them. I think I'll work on that once I am done with my spelling.

Actually, that sentence of yours is correct. The subject is "VGC and the sites I've been visiting" which may sound strange, because it contains verbs, but alternately the subject could be "VGC and others".

However, a comma is missing in the previous sentence. There should be one after "mistakes".

Then again, I follow similar grammar rules as in German when it comes to commas, so it's possible that I am mistaken every now and then. But honestly, a lack of commas rarely matters. Only sometimes it leads to a different meaning than the intended one. I'll give you an example. Somebody says that all Nintendo fans are smart. I want to disagree, so I say: "No, Nintendo fans are stupid."

Leave the comma out and suddenly it becomes agreement: "No Nintendo fans are stupid."

What an example! lol.

After reading the informative posts given here, I will misuse commas less.

I remember the creator of Esperanto , talking about why he chose certain languages to base Esperanto off and he mentioned German for its strict grammar, he also mentioned English , but I can't remember what its strength was now .
