in "ask, aunt bea"? What does that comma mean? Is it telling Aunt Bea to ask or is it more like aunt bea, in the same voice I use to Morgan when I know he wants money, saying "ask" (with a silent "already")? So should it be "Ask," aunt bea.?
Really, I have never noticed that comma. Is it new?

Sat, October 31, 2009 - 7:24 AMWell, I don't see a single post on this page by you, so maybe you should change it back? I don't know, that comma bothers me, it just doesn't belong, unless you want to explain the comma in your tribe descripiton. Or put the proper punctuation on the rest of the title. Not that I am telling you what to do or anything. And, of course, not that you asked for my opinion/help. I know how you feel about that. -

Sat, October 31, 2009 - 11:23 AMThe comma implies the members telling Aunt Bea to herself "ask." This puts her in the position of being a divine oracle if not barnacle.

Re: has there always been a comma after "Ask"
Sat, October 31, 2009 - 6:24 PMI was one of them that ask,ed about this way back then.
I don't recall getting a solid answer. If my rememberators are right, I think the thread went west after about the fifth or sixth response.
Par for the course here in Mayberry. We can't keep track of who said what because who's sayin' what about what was said about who said what. What? Did I say that? (if you understand this, quit drinking - you've had one too many - or, have another'n. Climb in, sit down, strap in and shut up, you ain't seen nothin', yet!)
Any more I just goes on and doesn't ask. (Pops open another'n and pets kitty)
