Can't spell, though, can you, Cliff? Besides, I think you went a little excessive on the commas in your reply. Doesn't make sense :-) Actually, I will have to side with Cliff on that one. Your sentence would have been better served with only one or two commas maximum. "Can't spell though, can you Cliff?", or, "Can't spell, though, can you Cliff?" would have been better. Nevertheless, your third comma is definitely extraneous. Reading your original sentence sounds like this: "Can't spell <pause> though <pause> can you <pause> Cliff?" No malice intended.
