  Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

    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.

    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. :)
