The British use commas to break for tea time.

If that were the case I'd have a comma between every word. Or letter, depending on what biscuits there were.  |

In British English the comma can be used to separate independent clauses; in American English you need a semicolon for that. |

I guess I use semicolons the AMERICAN WAY, then.
Fuck it, American English is the new English. I've been de-anglicized.

Actually that's not really legit, it's only done by sloppy idiots and extremely talented writers who can get away with it.

They beat up on a weakling, and that's all they did. The rest is just smokefilled coffee-house crap. They tortured and tormented a weaker kid. They didn't like him. So, they killed him. And why? Because he couldn't run very fast.
