>Is there any reason to try and write an os i mean windows basically has a monopoly and Linux has a billion forks on the foss route.This seems like an interesting but pointless endeavor.I don't want to waste my time but it does seem like something interesting to do.How well would i be able to programme if I attempted such a thing.Is it all for nothing?

>I have no experience programming i am practicing maths right now.Mostly i am intersted in really understanding how computers work.But i feel it would be a waste of time just for that reason.Do you guys think any os's will ever beat windows?Or loonix?In terms of popularity?

Use spaces.

A comma would be appropriate.

Really your entire problem is punctuation and maybe capitalization, just work on that.

There should be spaces after your periods and commas. Like this, this, and this. See?

It's all grammatically correct. Punctuation and spelling are fucked though.

When do I use commas? Right now honestly I use them when I feel like it.

Honestly I never knew you were meant to use a space after a comma or period until today.

desu it's hard, its constant correction what will trully "upgrade" your grammar. idk about other countries, but at least in mine teachers normally put more attention on orthography than punctuation, which i think it should be the focus point. zinse yuo are mroe proun to undesten somenone lik thss, yuo nkow. than someone with really bad punctuation.

Start by putting a space after punctuation.

The two most common use cases are enumerations and subordinate sentences.

>enumberations
"You are a faggot, nigger, dumbass and dimwit."

You see how there is a comma after every item you are listing, except for the the last two items which are connect by an "and" instead.

>subordinate sentence
"I do not like giving head, it gives me a headache."

These are two statements that are related to one another. You separate them with a comma instead of a period.

The main sentence here is "I do not like giving head". It makes sense on its own, even if you remove the subordinate sentence.

The subordinate sentence here is "it gives me a headache". It only makes sense in relation to the main sentence. Without the main sentence you wouldn't know what gives you a headache.
