| Apr 12, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | @Gary'sStudent that is actually not true. But even if it were, then by the same token half of your comment must be deleted with no replacement. As indeed must be half of pretty much anything that you or I have ever said or will ever say under any circumstances ever. | |

| Apr 12, 2020 at 16:46 | comment | added | Gary's Student | Why add "he" to the sentence? It adds no information and does not clarify any of the information already present. | |

| Apr 12, 2020 at 15:54 | comment | added | Yosef Baskin | Really, in writing it's off when you punctuate it that way. However, in speaking, what we have is "Bob? He went to the store." "Me? I like spicy food." (Compare 'Moi, je" in French for emphasis.) | |
