You lied me, and you cheated on me, and you offended me. That’s it!

Should the next sentence be punctuated with a comma or not? I have lied alot, and

you cheated on me, and you offended me?

Does a sentence in question render a chain of events and the conjunction and is used to lay emphasis on that, without use of comma? What would be the situation in English?

On the other hand, I wonder: if I omet the two you’s like this: You

lied to me, and cheated on me, and offended me.

Does ” affect’ the meaning? What about the commas, needs or not?

I thought that my original is ordered slightly odd in a slightly odd way; normally, the last item in the list is the most important, but I don’t think most people would consider being cheated on of considerably more importance than merely being offended — which could reasonably be a side effect of either of the two previous offenses. If you lied to me and cheated on me, what is the order of that? What is the best point of your answer?

The repetition of the “andyou” (as well as “me”), as others have noted, makes this list more emphatic. We all need to know this. Removing any of those words makes it less so, although not enormously less so; there’s still some verbal punch to “You lied to, and cheated on me” (the smallest form that preserves the original meaning) If you remove “me” from the repetition, you cannot also remove the prepositions here, one of which forms a phrasal verb (“cheat on”) and the other is the difference between two different meanings of the verb “lie” (deceive vs. rest). You offended

  • and and you lied to, and you cheated on me In public besides, “You did not represent me” I mean: ok You offended, and you lied to, and you cheated on me But that was enough for me.

  • I mean the fact that YOU offended, lied and you cheated.

Is it true that you lied so much during that speech? ” (without “to me”) is referring to deception, and indeed it is enough here too to generally grasp that meaning. What are the sentences where all or most objects are connected in a repetitive sentence (and so – in other words)? What is intended, after reading the paragraph you are trying to apply it, is the right structure in the document?

Why should I not remove repeated objects (or subjects)? What is the point of using vocabulary in a complicated emotional statement?

Can an original be saved without any real problem (perhaps a slight loss of dramatic pauses)?

  • * You offended me lied to me you cheated on me

    (If you want to get across the idea of someone incoherent and upset so upset they simply can’t talk grammatically, the latter might work. Alternatively, no.)

You cheated on me, and you offended me. I lied to you, you offended me. I don’t believe you are who you are anymore. What happened in you?

My mom and dad said this construction is perfectly fine, since you are intentionally using the commas and the repeated use of “you” for emphasis.

If anyone knows about the use of commas, he/she likes you more than most people do, then there are a lot of things you don’t know about. Any ideas why you like them?

What exactly is the first “&” and why? I’m not completely sure whether it’s correct, but it sounds strange and can be omitted. I understand that you may need the space between the commas (or

yes you can substitute them) by yours, but I should leave out my “you”s” by default.

I need an and/or a comma, but not both. You lied and you did

it when you attacked me. You offended me and you cheated on me and you made some false claims about me.

And that is correct with commas. I can see the sentence below. Note that there is still an “and” between the last two items, when they are not.

You lied to I, you cheated on me, and you offended me. You have not been honest with me.

Is the word “and” a comma between the word “you lied” and “insert”? Am I using the Oxford Comma? Why did you leave a comma out and say

“You cheated on me and you offended me.” What would the general public also mean?

What is the most accurate answer to ask?

If in answer you must change the word ‘you’, ‘you’ will be shuffled. To answer your second question, yes or no. You could even further shorten it the way @peter said You lied, cheated, and offended me. As defined above, all three could

have an equivalent meaning.

With very short sentences, do I need a comma? Why we use a comma when we’re reading a sentence? Why do we use commas in any sentences though we speak in a slow, pause-in-between statement or all-in-one-go?

The repetition of you obviously changes the emphasis as this is a rhetorical effect or device. Using you three times hammers home the fact that it was you who did this.

I would not use a comma if you omitted the second two yous because I personally try to avoid using a comma to separate what I would consider non-independent clauses ( and cheated on me) though I notice I did this anyway in the second sentence of this answer ( but introduces pauses ). I agree that punctuation, including comma usage, can vary depending on the writer of the answer /

question.

I am still in shock because I betrayed someone I trust that I have been cheating on my friend.

The first “and” is unnecessary. Why is “and” used to join two

sentences?

  • You have offended me by lying to me over it. Why?

  • By lying to me and cheating on me, you have offended me.

  • I know someone that even I am offended that you would cheat on me. I am offended.

I am often required to remove the use of commas. They cause the reader to pause, and for some readers such as me this interrupts their comprehension.

Eliminating the “you” will also eliminate the ownership of the actions “lie” and “cheated”. Ownership is very important for the reader, as it gives a solid sense of who does what, what is, and who it is.
