Randy.D it was you who pointed out to me earlier on not to keep space after a comma,but,if you insist I will space it,after all you invented a new punctuation mark,so I will do as AM grammarian demands~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friend, you are mistaken. I have never in my life stated in writing or aloud that any person at any time should ever or could ever omit the space after the comma. You may have me confused with someone else.
What did did occur in exchanges between you and I on AnswerBag was a discussion or two on the differences between accepted punctuation and other grammar rules in American English, British English, English use in India, etc. If I recall correctly (and I'm not saying that I do), you wrote that the omission of the space was common in India.

I was leaning way far over the rail and accusing you or redundancy (joking of course)---Yes: there should be a space after the comma andbefore the word "care"."
(Even I had to think to remember what I was trying to do there.)
That's not redundant because it doesn't repeat the same information twice again in succession just after it had already been stated once the previous time before that just prior to the second or subsequent duplicative entry that had been made in the first place. Besides that, it's not redundant unless it's already been said. ~
Redundant as in notnecessary---Given the asker's question and the asker's use of a comma as punctuation, the only space appropriate is either after the comma or before the word "care."
