wait what do you mean?? @Anaise

anaise · Answer

like is this multiple choice, write a response, or a general question? I know the answer, but I'd like to know what type of question this is

anonymous · Answer

oh, its just general. im fairly sure that you are always required to put a coma in front of a conjunction in a sentence, or is that an oxford coma?? 
for example:
Do you like peaches, or watermelon?
Is the coma required?

@Anaise im super new to this site lol i really dont know how it operates yet...

anaise · Answer

I believe you always do, if it it connects to independent clauses, get it?

anonymous · Answer

yes i do get it, thank you. I was really just wondering for clarification purposes. Oh and another thing, if I would like someone to receive a message, do I have to tag them or will they still get it even if I dont tag them? @Anaise

anaise · Answer

yes. but

anaise · Answer

when you first post, tag them once

anaise · Answer

otherwise, after that

they will start to receive notifications that you are replying to the conversation

anaise · Answer

but, if they do not reply for a hour or so, it is best to tag them again
