VGFacts

On DidYouKnowGaming, the big square VGFacts image is grammatically incorrect.

It reads "VGFacts had thousands of pieces of trivia, and is updated frequently."

There shouldn't be a comma. A comma should be used with a conjunction only when being used to combine a group of nouns (i.e. Mario, Zelda, and Metroid) or when combining two complete sentences. "is updated frequently" is not a complete sentence. If it was "it is updated frequently," then it would need a comma.

I'm not trying to be condescending; I'm just trying to help out.

While you're technically correct, I'd just like to point out that a comma can also be used less formally to indicate a pause in a sentence's pace (more traditionally in dialogue). However, I do agree that the comma isn't actually necessary there, though I suppose it isn't hurting either. Thanks for pointing that out.

I agree with Petie.
Also, some people find it easier to read when commas, like the one used in this case, break up a sentence.

Might I suggest writing the next Ad entirely in engirsh.

"Vgfacts offering portions of finer points with gaming pleasure well-run often!"

The commas you used there were actually used correctly though, so that makes sense :)

I was actually toying with the idea of adding a disclaimer to my post saying that " 'this case' refers to what Symthic was referring to". I should have done so !
