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.
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
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
(Example)
(“Yesterday I saw a deer, a sparrow, and a nonfiction book.”)
:::, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.
A classic joke:
“Let’s eat grandma!” vs.
“Let’s eat, grandma!”
“Commas save lives!”
😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)
I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.
Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

Stop bullying me for my shitty English skills 😆
Your shitty English is infinitely better than my (I’m guessing) shitty Danish.
You are guessing correctly. And tbf, Danish is barely a language. Anyone who attempts to learn Danish is a war hero.
We do make funny comedies, even though foreigners seem to be disturbed by our sense of humor.
Our humor is much like our language: ugly, brutal and thriving in the destruction of rules that are supposed to be upheld in polite society.

Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.
You nailed it here! :)

At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😢
Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. 🤗
LOL! 😂
Sure thing! 🤗
language is mostly what we make of it anyways :-)
Yeah, I see how I screwed up in my wording. :')
