<lj user=”the_child”> on punctuation

was reading to me yesterday. We were looking at the sentence:

“Eat this, little dog.”

She was taking much delight in the function of the comma in that sentence, as…

“Eat this little dog.”

…would have a completely different meaning which was obvious to her.

Now if I could only get some grown writers I know to be so aware of punctuation.
