How do you have a typo with literally the first word? Why is there a comma there?

I have noticed little to no proof reading occurs in today’s writings…

I believe proofreading is one word.
Proo freading is two words however.
That’s my hard-hitting content for the day.

Benson needs to sign first.

Several on this board including Russ Smith and myself badly wanted Benson. He was the top RB in this draft despite being poorly used by a sloppy FSU offense. I think this may be Connor’s last season, though I like him a great deal. Benson has a superior skill set and should be a force for several years. Getting Benson in round 3 was a steal.

the pudding might be on the stove but I‘m not reaching for my spoon at least not yet…

You can have a comma at the beginning of the sentence with just the word No.

 

[gimpy]

Yes but, that can change the meaning of the sentence.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Yes, but that can change the meaning of the sentence.

Since we're working on commas. FTFY.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Benson bigger than I had previously thought. 6'0" and 215 pounds but with 4.4 speed.

And 124 missed tackles during his last two years at (edit - Florida State)?

He sounds pretty dangerous.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Yes but, that can change the meaning of the sentence.

Exactly. The comma at the beginning was to note a pause.

 

[akg102]

"No [pause] running backs were taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft...."

It reads like the author had a stroke.

So you are contending that this sentence was properly written?!

No, running backs were taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft -- so it's a challenge to sort which runners will be the most effective as rookies.

I am contending that it is grammatically correct. It is however not natural sounding, and I wouldn't word it that way.

It's not grammatically correct. The comma in that position literally flips the meaning of the sentence 180 degrees. It is in direct opposition to the sentence...
No runningbacks were taken in the first round of the 2024 draft.

With the comma there it is in fact expressing disagreement...such as...
No, runningbacks WERE taken in the first round, however, it's hard to quantify their impact.

Commas also have the meaning to pause, as well as contrast. In fact, commas has close to 10 different usages in English.

It is grammatically correct.

It’s grammatical in the sense that Grammarly won’t flag it; but syntactically it’s a mess that makes no sense.

It makes sense. A professional should not start an article with one word and a comma. Why create a pause when you just got started? It's a mess, like you said.

Benson bigger than I had previously thought. 6'0" and 215 pounds but with 4.4 speed.

And 124 missed tackles during his last two years at Oregon?

He sounds pretty dangerous.

The claim was that it's a typo, which it clearly is. If it IS grammatically correct, then it's factually incorrect.
