DVD Talk review of 'Strange Frequency 2'

Hey bud, it would've been easier to read your piece if there had been fewer commas. Not to bash your review, which was comprehensible by any standards, but it would've helped if you'd omitted abour half of the commas you used. Remember that emphasis comes abour naturally in sentences, and that commas ought to be used only in ending the phrases within them, not to add a theatrical pause in the middle of an idea...just a thought.

I'm not here, though, to give an English lesson or to defend my use of the comma. I love the comma. Just like much of the English that we all learned back in grade school, however, the use of commas is really more of a loose and fast rule than a rigid one. It's really up to the discretion of the writer to decide when a comma is appropriate.
I stand by my use of the comma. If you found it too distracting, I apologize, but that's my writing style, and I've never had any issues with it in all my years of school. The English professors who gave me my BA never seemed to have any issue with them. And, really, that's good enough for me.
Thanks again for the comments!
