Scientific Fact #20: You Should Wear Your Glasses

[scientificfacts]

When you wear your glasses the stars snap into a sharp focus, pinpricks of clustered light. You can stand with your face upturned forever, or until the wind starts getting through your sweater, trying to imagine the distances involved

I want to listen to someone read what you write out loud all day.

That sounded less creepy when I thought it.

Quite a compliment! And not creepy at all. Thank you.

:D

I just got my first pair of glasses, I feel like I could cry every time I put them on. Trees have leaves again! I can see what the teacher writes on the board! I can see the real world as easily as I read what's in my books.

my favorite part about getting new glasses (because my perscription changes all the time), is putting them on - and driving home, and noticing all the leaves on the trees.

the next day, i always make it a point to go for a walk and count bird nests.

i took it a step further and got lasic surgery. that first night after the operation, i was lying in bed, and looking outside at the night sky, and for the first time in as long as i can remember, i could see the stars in the sky. priceless.

Hello, I frequent your site, and am quite smitten!
Will you marry me?
Or at least come with me to prom?
Keep up the genius work, my dear!

[scientificfacts]

I will marry you if you're rich. I will come to prom with you if I get to pick the music.

Thank you for reading and keep the love alive.

Duders, sweaters cannot try to "imagine the distances involved." That is a grammar error. But Shakespeare loves your emo poetry anyway, and so do I.

That's what the commas are there for, to delineate a break in the sentence. I guess you're impervious to their magic. Huh. Huuuuuh.

BITCH PLEASE! Commas won't save you, my friend. The dangling modifier remains. Grammar errors make baby jesus cry.

[scientificfacts]

It's not a dangling modifier because the pair of commas surrounds a nonessential clause. They could be brackets, but I hate brackets. I abuse commas a lot. Because I can!
