I made a SPELLING error in a post where I was making fun of George W Bush's intelligence. Boy do I look stupid. Please post all of your ridicules in this thread or in the original thread where I made the error. Thanks.

Is now the time to point out your punctuation error?

Picking out missed commas is too easy. Lots of people leave out commas anyway. But I'm sure we'll here about it hear if W happens to do it.

The 2nd mistake is not a missing comma.

The "George W Bush" instead of "George W. Bush," then.

I missed the missing comma. As far as I can tell, it is the second mistake. Do you see one after the missing comma?

One missing comma I see is after the interjection "Boy." Also, before "where I made the error," though I'm not 100% sure on that. Actually, "where" acts a conjuction, so I think it does get a comma. "Or" doesn't get a comma because it's linking objects, not sentences.

Two spaces are required after a period. Abducens appears to use one or none.
