Asked by Dorothy

usage of the colon in a sentence.
1a. I just bought CDs by Regina Spektor, John Legend, and Prince.
1b. I just bought: CDs by Regina Spektoe, John Legend, and Prince.

I believe the second one is incorrect because the first one looks and sounds more correct. Am I right?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're right, Dorothy. 1a. is correct.
Answered by Dorothy
usage of the comma.
1a. Bob enjoys playing football, and Jim enjoys playing hockey.

1b. Bob enjoys playing football and Jim enjoys playing hockey.

I think these are 2 independent sentences and can be separated by a comma. The and just joins them together, separated by the comma.
right?
