kalylies,

This looks like the stuff I see on the bottom of some spam messages. I just ignore it.

No, you don't understand.  These sentences were given to me as an assignment.  I have to puncuate them.  I can't figure out how!  Can anyone help?

kalylies,

To be honest, I don't understand either. So you're in good company.

1)

Why you would sing opera at the top of your lungs when the neighbors, the ones with the blue chevrolet, complain so about it. I have no idea.

We have one word left over: Although. Reminds me of being a kid when I took things apart and then reassembled them. I often had more pieces than I began with. You could rewrite it as:

Although, why you would sing opera at the top of your lungs when the neighbors, the ones with the blue chevrolet complain, so about it, I have no idea.

If that is the answer, I think it is a dumb sentence. But that is just one person's idea.

2)

Mergansers, those fish eating ducks, are, unfortunately, not very good eating ducks, according to Hunters World, the most respected by the hunting public.

That one I can understand, sort of.

I hope this helps.
