I've got one of those lines of dialogue that looks wrong either way. (So much for trusting my grammatical eye!)
The line is an imperative followed by the word already. For any short imperative ("Go, already!") the comma seems right, but with my longer imperative it feels 'off.'
Would anyone care to pat my hand and tell me this is right?
"He can't understand what I'm saying."
"So enunciate, already!"
Thanks in advance.
