Though at the end of a sentence.

When "though" is at the end of a sentence, does a comma always go before it?

I don't really like chocolate ice-cream, though.

 

In a nutshell:
Yes.

Comma goes at the end of the dependant clause when it's at the beginning,though.

e.g.
Though I want to do some writing, I never seem to find the time.
I want to do some writing. I never seem to find the time, though.

 

I know it is correct and sounds correct when spoken, but something about writing it like that just seems wrong.

 

it would seem wrong to me without the comma...

 

The two thoughs aren't equivalent, though . The first is a conjunction (this is clear if you rearrange the sentence: "I never seem to find the time, though (or although) I want...." The second is an adverb, believe it or not, meaning "however".

 

yup!

 

Thanks, everything. I wanted to be sure.
