Two Missing Commas - Maxwell Grantly - 07-17-2015 03:40 AM
I believe that there are two missing commas in the last two sentences of this article - one in each sentence. This may cause a slight misunderstanding in how the cats can breed.
http://kittycats.biz/help/article.php?id=63
For example one sentence currently reads:
"Breeding 2 Confetti KittyCats with an Confetti KittyCatS Offspring."
It seems to imply that the example is referring to how two confetti kittens can breed with their offspring. I think the sentence should read as ...
"Breeding 2 Confetti KittyCats, with a Confetti KittyCatS Offspring."
Or possibly:
"Breeding 2 Confetti KittyCats (with a Confetti KittyCatS Offspring.)"
The same issue is present in the second sentence of these two last sentences in the article. I know it might seem petty but I read the false meaning into both sentences at first and became confused, until I studied the tables in the manual for clarification.

It should read read as 'which produce a offspring' and, yes, it still needs a comma before the which.

Thank God for our Grammer Meisters - and I mean this in a most sincere and flattering way. I was wranging with that, thinking it was just that I was dense. Thank you for clarifying!
