This is why punctuation is important. I saw this on reddit with already 4500 upvotes. So people DO care about and recognize punctuation!

"Neither did the Greeks." ?

In the context of its being a reply to scot4, shouldn't it be, "So did the Greeks."? Very Happy

Punctuation is outdated. We never seem to use it correctly. I try, but there will always be something. I think that is correct, but feel free to correct me.
