For you personally, what does it mean? And do you have a specific example? Like a poem, or a song (provide name and artist please), or some art example, etc.

Thanks for your help!

This web site has two ideas designed to end poverty. It was suggested that before I show the artists this site, to check my grammar. Do you see any thing wrong with it? Http://freewebs.com/noamericanleftbehindact/

I've always used "are as follows" as in:

The objectives of the programme are as follows:
A
B
C

However, I just spotted someone using:

The charges for the dinner are as follow:
A
B
C

Could someone enlighten me with the correct grammar here? Thanks. It should always be "are as follows" right?

I'm having a hard time figuring out when, exactly, to put a comma before the word "and" in a sentence. Here are a few sentences which will help to illustrate my question:

"The distance between two consecutive pulses of energy in a periodic wave is called the wavelength and it is an important number that characterizes that particular wave."

If I had written this sentence, I would have put a comma before the "and." Is this incorrect? If so, why?

Here's another sentence I underlined:

"They are sometimes called 'eye safe' lasers, and are not considered hazardous even if the output beam is directed into the eye's pupil for long periods of times."

This sentence has a comma before the "and," but I'm not really sure why.

Again, my question is this: when should I put a comma before the word "and" in a sentence?

It has been said that you are what you eat?
But we can be defined in other ways as well.
Please fill in the blank with an alternative to the classic saying.

What's a bed cracker™, you ask? Well you know the expression "I wouldn't kick him/her out of bed for eating crackers." This is my shortcut. It's sheer genius because it has a double meaning.

So are ya?
