Wrong about the comma but correct about hyphenating "made-up" and "contentless" being a word.

But the point is I never address grammar on a message board except when pointing out errors made by people attacking others' grammar.  So I basically got hoisted on my own petard.

Quote:I could of done better

But the kicker is you didn't. You said "I could OF done better" instead of, "I could have done better." and to make matters worse you omitted punctuation.

Dammit! I love being a grammar field marshal!

I'm pretty sure it was content-less spelled contentless. Personally I would have used , without content or better yet just said nothing, but this has become quite fun.. I may have been a complete dolt in mathematics, but by golly I could ace a college English term paper by bullshitting my way through it.
