minus-square@pyrelinkEnglish4•4 months agoyeah doesn’t even work with the classic joke format, in which the words switch places. I’m sure the joke should actually be: one has claws at the end of its paws, one denotes a pause at the end of a clause.

My favourite language joke:
What’s the difference between a cat and a comma?
One’s got claws at the end of its paws, the other’s a pause at the end of a clause
*fixed order
What do you call Santa’s little helpers?
Subordinate Clauses
But a comma goes before the pause.
