Hi everyone.
What does everyone think of getting rid of commas in dialogue? I've recently started doing it to improve flow - the way you imagine someone to say things like "Whatever you think sweetie" or "Whatever you say man". I guess it depends on the character and where they're from. I always think with a comma you imagine a pause (which isn't always what you want).
"Yes sir" and "Yes, sir" was a dilemma for a previous script - I erred towards the latter because its grammatically correct.
Which brings me to another dilemma. How grammatically correct should a script be? I've been running lines through grammarly (which has been great thus far). I'm curious to know what people think of this. Sometimes - lean and choppy can be a good option as well.
