RE: Commas
When I was in high school, a teacher made me memorize this ditty as a way of explaining the importance of the comma:
Without commas
Every lady in this land has twenty digits on each hand
Five and twenty on hands and feet
And this is true without deceit.

With commas
Every lady in this land has twenty digits,
On each hand five,
And twenty on hands and feet,
And this is true without deceit.

Jack
