Grammar Question:

I'm creating a t-shirt for the cheerleaders. It says EVHS Pep Squad with a megaphone beneath. Beneath the megaphone, I want it to say "Go Falcons!" Technically, it should be Go, Falcons! But the comma looks weird on the t-shirt.

Grammar over appearance?

As an imperative, does it really require the comma?

Regardless, I'd lose the comma.

I dunno, brenda. It's still direct address.

The quandry is that I'm also an English Teacher and I'd like to get it right, as good grammar costs nothing. BUT I'd also like it to look nice.

It's also probable that no one will care but me!

I'd lose the comma, despite the grammar quibble.

When I remember the Challenger disaster in the future it will be a memory with another human dimension included.

Thank you, Laura, that's a nice thing.

Kat, huh. It's funny how sometimes you get that whole "who are your people" thing going on. Even having never lived there, I still react with a home vs. mainland sort of mentality. Anyway, hee that you thought of me.

I had a cute local boy moment at the music festival. I turned up randomly at a show because I'd heard good buzz. But sadly it was the last day of the fest and it had just let loose a downpour, so a ton of people had just bailed. So the show was pretty much just me and a few people the band knew. Like, literally, maybe half a dozen people (including, randomly, some girl I'd met in Arizona this spring).

Anyway, they're called twentyfour64 (noisy myspace link) were from Hawaii and they put on a great show anyway, and I loved them. Bought their album even though it wasn't really my style, because I felt bad for them having come all this way. Then later they were hanging out in the audience at another show I went to. I shaka'd at them, so they came over to talk to me for a while. It was cute how excited they were to be talking to someone who knew their vibe.

And there is a whole 'nother language that goes on underneath the language with local people. I dunno. It's just something unique.

eta: I saw a whole bit of a show about Graeters and I was super impressed with the manual labor involved. Also, I really really wanted some.

I am flittering like an electron that found the good Sudafed stash on Kat's question. Technically it needs the comma but the comma looks wrong. I can't choose just one.

Exactly. I think ... I would have to put it on there.

I'll upload both versions. Give me a moment.

with comma: [link]

without: [link]

It's friday night and I'm not only home and on the computer. I'm making CHEERLEADING shirts. WTF? (But it does mean I get to use my new silkscreening machine this weekend) I wish my school had money to spend on any of this so I wouldn't have to do it.

Visually, the non-comma version is best.

I wonder if the comma is necessary, could it be a little smaller, with a bit more space behind it?
