很久以前我就发现我们厂长写东西有两大特点：一是分不清 it’s 和 its，经常把后者写成前者；二是不爱用逗号，一句话奔流到海不复回。我跟他开玩笑说你这两个坏习惯会让你无法胜任机密写作任务的，太容易看出来是你写的了。
前一个特点比较少见，目前我只发现他分不清，更多的人是分不清 your 和 you’re（也有可能是手机打字太懒的缘故）。后一个特点则常见一些，比如我在看一则创业文章时，这句话我第一遍读来活生生被噎死了：
I read Hackers & Painters by Paul Graham which thoroughly convinced me that if I ever wanted to control my destiny and not be stuck something had to change.
真是懒啊。逗号这种东西，宁滥毋缺。窃以为加两个逗号之后可读性会暴涨两倍：
I read Hackers & Painters by Paul Graham, which thoroughly convinced me that if I ever wanted to control my destiny and not be stuck, something had to change.
