[at-l] I like to use commas..

[Nina Rogers]

Well, you have to read it first. :-)

 

It really will help. I've read a million (well, maybe not that many ...)
punctuation and grammar books, but Strunk & White is the one reference
book I always keep handy on my shelf.

 

(See there? I used a comma before "but" because it was followed by an
independent clause! Oh, how I love punctuation!)

LOL...  I don't know if it will solve most of my writing issues *but*, I
just bought a copy off Ebay!  

Thanks for the recommendation.

Get a copy of Strunk and White's Elements of Style. It's small, cheap,
simple, and will solve most of your writing issues. 

If everyone would read Strunk and White, we'd all enjoy our email a
little more. And our newspapers. And magazines. And billboards. 

If you want a fun, humorous yet instructive take on punctuation, Eats,
Shoots, and Leaves is top notch.
