OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Try reading each one aloud, pausing when a comma is inserted or noticing when you pause.

OpenStudy (hnamowicz):

ok

OpenStudy (hnamowicz):

c

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

C isn't quite right. When you read it aloud, it sounds like this: Whether you like it or not (pause) you must finish the assignment.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

So the comma would go after not.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

That's correct.
