There absolutely are wrong ways to use a comma. You can't just make up new language rules because you misused punctuation, and got called out on it. Again, I was playing with you, but you are definitely wrong. I'm going to post a link to the Wikipedia article for commas so that you can view the many different ways that a comma can be correctly used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma |
Nope, sorry, I'm right. There is no 'wrong' way to use a comma, only 'non-standard' forms. Where one person may feel a comma is perfectly justified, another may decide it doesn't fit at all. When it comes to editing the use of commas, there are many instances where it must be included in order for the sentence to make sense to the reader. The main use for a comma is to create a pause. This can often be a dramatic pause, for example in the course of fictional discourse or during a speech given to build up emphasis before a noun or pronouns, usually it adds a condemning tone.
I really think you should quit while you're ahead because I have reems of sources and information to back myself up here.
