There is only one difference between transport and transportation, that is transport is for public to move one place to another and transportation is moving anything like goods is used for transportation. Conventionally, there is no difference between the two words.
Should there be a comma after "that is"?
Thanks!
@tanguatlay,
It works better with the comma. The phrase, "that is transport is", is confusing with no comma. If the sentence were being spoken, there would be a slight pause between "that is" and "transport is" — the comma reflects that pause.
@tanguatlay,
There are five grammatical errors, one logical mistake and a redundancy in the first sentence.
See if you can find them all.
What fun.

Could you point out the mistakes? Thanks!
Hi knaivete,
My attempt is as follows:
There is only one difference between transport and transportation: transport is for public to move from one place to another and transportation is for moving anything like goods. Conventionally, there is no difference between the two words.

I think the above sentence is the logical mistake because initially the writer says there is a difference but in the last sentence, he or she says there is no difference.
Stumble It!
