Punctuation...
Saw this quote today and think the punctuation is wrong.
"I never took lessons to learn how to play the drums, and I never took lessons to learn how to play guitar, I just sort of figured it out. I think that if you're passionate about something and you're driven and focused, that you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life - Dave Grohl "
I would punctuate it like this:
"I never took lessons to learn how to play the drums, and I never took lessons to learn how to play guitar. I just sort of figured it out. I think that if you're passionate about something, and you're driven and focused, that you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life - Dave Grohl "
Your thoughts?
