So when I see, "My friend Jacob break dances," it drives me crazy, even if it is correct. I just. have to. put in. those commas!!<br /><br />Thanks for the distinction.

I get confused when listing information like "I'd like to thank my parents, Mother Theresa and the Pope." Sounds like MT and his holiness are my parents. Or if it's okay to use a comma before then "I took the key out of the lock, then shoved the door open." Or should I just use and?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.com
