A world without commas

Here's a valuable piece of advice. If you listen to nothing else I say, remember this one.

When it comes to commas, the rule is when in doubt, leave it out. If I'm bitching about the lack of commas and you respond with, "Well, I wasn't sure, so I didn't put one in," I will likely squeal in girlish delight, and all will be forgiven.

This rule does not apply to professional journalists. You're getting paid to write. Do your job.
