#146 Our favourite mistakes: Writing
▶️ Look at the following sentences:
I think, this is a good idea.
Because, there are many problems.
But, I disagree with this statement.
So, I this is the best solution.
❓What’s wrong here?
❗️There should not be any commas.
❓Why?
❗️ The problem is overgeneralisation. You have seen sentence starters like these:
- However, …
- Firstly, …
- On the other hand, …
- Moreover, ...
These all have commas, but that doesn’t mean everything must have commas.

#1 Travelogue 🇧🇪Belgium: The heart of Brussels
▶️ Welcome to Brussels, the capital of not just Belgium but the whole 🇪🇺EU.
Check out Grand-Place (French) or Grote Markt (Flemish) in the middle of the city. Belgium is bilingual, the northern half speaks Flemish, which is almost the same as Dutch, and the southern half speaks French. Brussels is mostly French-speaking despite being surrounded by Flemish-speaking areas.
Interestingly, no one speaks of an "Old Town" in Brussels. That's probably because the old part of town is too big and not separated enough from the rest of the city.
