    Thanks. It doesn’t help me personally. Punctuation is literally there to help express tone and add context to written language. It shows pauses, end of thoughts, whether something is phrased as a question…etc., etc.

        I tried to make a situation which is artificially hard to guess.

        Study don’t be a donkey like your father -> is this father a donkey?

        Study, don’t be a donkey like your father -> what I would have guessed (father is a donkey)
        Study, don’t be a donkey, like your father -> people do talk like that, they add examples afterwards (father isn’t a donkey)
