Wow, another week in the bag! I know a lot of our American friends are busy getting ready for US Thanksgiving this coming week, but lets take a look back at the GA News Blog for the past week and see if there is something that you are thankful for early ;).

 

On Monday, Renee brought us a review by @Puppilull for the Feature Story this week; Personal Banking by @Refugium.  Good comments and feedback to entice you to take on another story to read.

 

Wednesday, Renee brought us a new feature that can could will may help me a lot ;) In Common Editing Issues #1, @JayT, brings us some common editing issues. The great thing about these blogs is the great interaction between the members. This one definitely brought up some discussion. Did I mess up on my commas :unsure: ?

Don't forget to explain why! :P

When you are addressing someone in the middle of a sentence, you offset their name with commas before and after. In this case, though, you were mentioning his name and not speaking to JayT, so that rule doesn't apply. The comma before JayT is there to offset the "introductory dependent clause" that starts the sentence. "In Common Editing Issues #1" shares additional information for the main clause, "JayT brings us some common editing issues" which is independent and can stand alone. It shares a better, more complete, idea when they are combined. 

 

If you added JayT's name to your final sentence, "So, JayT, did I mess up on my commas?" then you would use the commas on either side of his name.

LOL

And I'm the weirdo in the Proms! Four poetry entries and me. No, I'm not joining that bandwagon!
