Joseph, the dreamer vs Joseph the dreamer
Hi, I wonder whether there is a difference in meaning and in use between 1. "Joseph, the dreamer" and 2. "Joseph the dreamer".
If there is only one Joseph, is including the comma as in the first grammatically correct? Then, if there is more than one Joseph we know generally, is dropping the comma as in the second grammatically correct?
