Re: A Good One...
Basically punctuation is critical for this to work. The comma is in the wrong place and it is easier to read if "it Is" rather than "it's" which is the same.
Its is a possessive form of the pronoun it, meaning belonging to it. It's is a contraction of the words

Commas can be worth millions...and can be the difference between life and death.

What, a train wreck.
Re: A Good One...
Think 3D. A dot could be the end of a cylinder that has dots inside or even ends in a dot. The earth is a dot from a long way off. Lastly you can connect any dot to your eye....Yawn

Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.
Re: A Good One...
A small attempt at humour can be tough on this board. I just thought it was a cute quip. Astonishing, how quickly it got seriously critical. It should be no wonder I post so little now.

Lighten up, Francis. It seems we found plenty of humor; even more than was initially intended.

Geometry was on of my favorite classes. Had a great teacher Mr Bob Cramer. He made it fun and challenging. Good chess player too.
Re: A Good One...
Tiny dots are more difficult to connect. The bigger the dot the easier it is to connect.

Re: A Good One...
"The bigger the dot the easier it is to connect." True, but in plane geometry a dot (point) is infinitely small and has no diameter. More irrelevant information to support humor - my bad. If there's only one dot is it a polka-dot?

This actually reminds me of a wholly different saying:

Re: A Good One...
I am not sure I totally agree with that. Polka dots and other dots definitely have a finite diameter. As the diameter of a dot decreases and becomes zero then it becomes a point. So we can properly say a point is a degenerate dot. (And I say this with all due respect to all points and dots.)

Re: A Good One...
I doubt it. If it takes two to tango, it probably takes two to polka, too.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
