love this site; love your comics. just a kind of grammar nazi comment. the line that says 'The code is 'cool' isn't it?' really would be more proper without the question mark, but a period instead, and maybe a comma to emphasize? :)
'The code is 'cool', isn't it.'

Accept that would be wrong.

I have to think that if he'd done that, someone else would have requested that he put the question mark back in for the same reason.

Language is for communication. Did you understand what he was trying to say? If you did, shut up.

Well said, Fred.

The comic is representing people talking. People who talk often use bad grammar. So it's realistic!

Anyone else find it ironic that "Jim & Joey" used "accept" when they meant "except?" I sure do.

People often use 'accept' when they should of used 'except'. I'd like to correct them all, but its not practical so I just grit my teeth and try not to loose my temper.

When people write "should of" instead of "should have", I get a little tense.

Period vs. question mark:

It depends on the way the sentence is presented. If Scott is asking if the code is "cool", then the question mark is appropriate. If Scott is stating that the code is "cool", then the period is appropriate.

So then the manner in which the sentence is presented is based on Scott's tone - I'd like to imagine he is asking the question dejectedly, realizing that he knows the answer, but still must ask to verify if his boss is, indeed, that stupid.

On the other hand, had a period been used, Scott would have been directly stating that the code is "cool", possibly in a mildly aggravated manner (like a parent towards a child who has misbehaved), preempting the need for confirmation, showing to the audience that he knows his boss is, indeed, that stupid.

Disregarding all the above stated, a comma is necessary between "cool" and "isn't":

"The code is 'cool', isn't it?"

The grammatical errors in this comic are acceptable. The grammatical errors in the comments it generated are exceptional.

Hi, Scott! I've been reading your comic for quite some time now and I love it! I'm sorry so many of your comments are related to grammar. You do tend to make a lot of errors but you're also hilarious. You'd think that would buy you some leeway.

Barbarians...

Hilarious. I'm enjoying these so much...

I find it ironic that in ptbptb's comment about correcting everyone who uses "accept" when they mean "except" wrote "loose my temper" instead of "lose my temper"...

Hilarity!

Grammartron was correct in saying there should have been a comma, but was incorrect in the placement of that comma. Punctuation always goes inside the quotation marks, so it should be "The code is 'cool,' isn't it?"

HeebieJeebie, I'm pretty sure ptbptb was just trolling with his "accept" statement. Trolling is a art.

i see what you did there meep.

Has anybody else. considered that Jim & Joey actually meant he/she/they/it wanted Runey to accept the fact that it's wrong, and didn't make a mistake? 'Cause I have.
