The way I look at commas, they separate off bits of sentences that don't have to be there but add useful information. In that last sentence, for example, the first bit can be left off and you'd still have a full sentence. In the second sentence, the "for example" can be removed and you'd still have a full sentence. |

I just googled "Rules for Commas" and came up with a site that has a list of six general rules. There are more than that if you want to be very specific, but for the most part this is a good starting point: |

This may be completely off topic but I'd just like to say that - considering how you seem to love talking so much trash to people that don't know some of the things that (you think) you know, on this forum - it's amazing that people are still willing to offer you aid on something as fundamental as grammar, without taking the opportunity to throw insults at you. |

Objectively, maybe not, but I do find it kinda sad. Everyone has their pet-peeves(sp), and one of mine just happens to be arrogant people. Whenever possible, I like making arrogant people look like jackasses, preferably in front of as many people as possible, because it shows how hypocritical their feeling of "superiority" really is. It just urks me to see people that get their rocks off by talking down to other people, simply because they may either disagree, or be less-informed. House is no exception. I enjoy some of his quips, because he is a fictional character but, if I was one of his co-workers, I would have slapped the shit out of him, a long time ago. |

I agree that reading is paramount. However, make sure you're reading good material. Especially be careful of picking up bad habits from the internet... a breeding ground for poor grammar habits. |
