AbcdeDooDah Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) This might not make a ton of sense to anyone but it's an inside joke for a license plate frame. I want it to be grammatically correct. Edited January 13, 2022 by AbcdeDooDah Quote
bolt. Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I like the first. The second implies, "I think the same as you, Lisa who is old." 10 Quote
happi duck Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 If it means Lisa never changes I vote no comma. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/the same old 5 Quote
scholastica Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 “Same old” is pretty much an idiomatic expression so you wouldn’t punctuate it as if you were making a list. 4 Quote
Jenny in Florida Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 A handy test for whether two adjectives need to be separated with a comma is to try saying them with "and" in between. If you wouldn't say it with an "and" between them, you don't need a comma. "Big and old house" works, so, comma. "Same and old Lisa" sounds odd and doesn't mean what you want it to mean. So, no comma. 3 Quote
