Comment on Great Tits

  I just had a vision of a deer sitting at a table in a French bistro, about to take a bite out of a sparrow impaled on a fork in one hoof and a Haynes manual for a Triumph Stag in the other. Made me laugh.

      Your shitty English is infinitely better than my (I’m guessing) shitty Danish.

        You are guessing correctly. And tbf, Danish is barely a language. Anyone who attempts to learn Danish is a war hero.

        We do make funny comedies, even though foreigners seem to be disturbed by our sense of humor.

        Our humor is much like our language: ugly, brutal and thriving in the destruction of rules that are supposed to be upheld in polite society.

  I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

    Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

      You nailed it here! :)

      Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or “take a breath” without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.

      A classic joke:

      “Let’s eat grandma!”

      “Let’s eat, grandma!”

      “Commas save lives!”

      😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)

        At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😢

        Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. 🤗

        Yeah, I see how I screwed up in my wording. :')
