No im right it is

"Well also i didn't say you get angry, H4rl3quin, said that I get angry over people leaving which I don't."

Because your name is an aposite (I don't know how to spell it) which is double commas around extra info.

"well also i didnt say you get angry" has to be directed at Ineffable, not me, as you said that i *do* get angry. Soooooo your two clauses each have a different subject/object separated by *a* comma.

This is the correct sentence :

Well/Also I didnt say that you get angry, H4rl3quin said that I get angry over people leaving, which i don't."

OR

Well I didnt say that you get angry H4rl3quin, I said that I get angry over people leaving, which i don't."

which can't be right anyway, as it dosent make sense.


Seriously, are you just using an online english-english translator now?

It fails.

If it was H4rl3quin who said that you get angry, then the second comma is unnecessary: "Well, also, I didn't say that you get angry, H4rlequin said that I get angry over people leaving, which I don't" would be proper.

You don't understand the function of contractions. You don't understand the function of spelling. You don't understand the function of language in general, which is of a communicative nature. When you mangle it as badly as you seem wont to do, you utterly ignore the basic function of language, be it written or spoken.

Please.

Also H4rl3quin we posted at the same time. It wasn't directed towards you but to iceman.

The bolded area should go like this: "You see;" not "You see," You is pronoun and see is verb.
