you ain't raising anyone with that shit punctuation

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 1 day ago

This reads fine? It could use some commas but otherwise makes sense

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 17 hours ago

For some of us, the lack of commas does make it hard to read.

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 day ago

where would commas go to make it make sense? 🤔

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 day ago

Alright, it needs some other punctuation, too, but that's not so bad.

I'm raising my kids by "if you have anything nice to say, say it" and "if you have anything nice you can do, do it".

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

i read it twice and somehow didn't notice the word "do" appears twice 🤡

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Lmao that'll do it!

And demonstrates why OP coulda used some punctuation

[-] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

That'll do do it!

I'm going to raise my kids by (the following rules): If you have something nice to say, say it If you have something nice you can do, do it

Its not particularly difficult to parse and aside from some punctuation issues it sounds like this kid has their head screwed on right

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

This relies on knowledge of the common saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". If you've never encountered that saying, this post probably looks like word soup.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

is it not word soup even knowing that saying?

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

My brain parsed it fine. Maybe I've spent too long online and I've adapted to the lack of punctuation.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

probably that, as i had to look at someone fixing the punctuation to understand it
