Listening to Zappa play Apostrophe, I am reminded that the main component of our language is call and response.
It is the basic element in any language.
English is special because of all it’s nuances that allow us to convey philosophical data.
Math is a language that allows us to convey technical data.

Having said that, I believe most of us get the gist of a conversation even if the comma is misplaced.

When a decimal point is misplaced it is a huge error of exponential proportions but even then, most of us get the gist of it.
