 SD> Third warning I'll file a complaint with Ward.

   LOL! Good luck with that.

 SD> It's "you're", not "your",

   OMG! Are you actually saying that US English speaking people never make
that mistake?

 SD> and there's no comma between "funny" and "and".

   Yes there is. It divides two parts of the sentence. "I am, you are" is the
proper way.

 SD> I can definitely tell English is your second language.

   We can all tell that US English is your *only* language. US English is
infamous for not knowing how to handle a comma correctly.

   I remember a famous quote from some 15 years ago, in, I think, the New York
Times:

   "The best way to make sense of the Second Amendment is to take away
    all the commas (which, I know, means that only outlaws will have
    commas)."
