Do Commas Confuse You?
The final stage of the writing and editing process is proofreading: correcting any errors in spelling, punctuation, word usage, and format. Roughly 75% of what I do while proofreading clients’ documents is correct commas. When I teach university writing courses, I ask the students, “What’s the number one thing that confuses you about punctuation and grammar?” In every class, someone says “Commas,” and about half of the students nod in agreement.
Commas confuse most people. Unlike other types of punctuation, they are used in so many ways. However, if you want to write clearly and professionally, you need to use commas correctly.
But where does the comma go?
The answer to this question is found in Zen Comma, a guide to using commas correctly.
Zen Comma, an e-book in PDF and e-pub formats, examines the 17 major uses and misuses of commas. This is the book that finally tells you where to put commas—and where to take them out.
