Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Because language is a thing that everyone agrees on, together. If nobody else is using the words like that, maybe you shouldn't either.
This is the line I am referring to, not any specific word. This sentence is nonsensical:
"The fact you seem to not have seen this before indicates..." followed by "that you cannot always contract 'you' and 'are.'"
How are those related? If someone hasn't seen this before... it indicates ... grammar rules? How does not seeing it indicate a grammar rule?
