When you use one, every few words, it reads, like you're out of.... breath. Just use them where you need them! Quit wasting commas that other people could be using!

Now chill out! No need to repay me. I didn't pay for them. Randy found them stuck to the inside of a plastic garbage, bin/bag liner that he bought at Goodwill.
Ah, they don't cost me, or anyone else, anything...lets go comma crazy! Oh, I see Problem Child beat me to it...oh wth,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...(Yes, as a matter of fact, I am lazy. :)

Now, why, on, earth, would, you, even, suggest, such, a, thing? Where, would, we, be, without, our, comma, friends? Do, you, want, to, cause, a, mass, comma, extinction, event?
I am a good comma person. I even know how do wield a mean semi-colon.
Ha, ha super funny!
I hereby promise to use no commas for 24 hours.
Just a couple of weeks ago I did an 8-hour workshop on punctuation.
It's far more flexible than grammar police would like us to realise.
I like the Oxford University guide but find that the results can go two ways.
Sometimes it clarifies meaning perfectly.
Other times it sounds too bookish and unnatural.
I reckon aM is great for experimenting.
Sniff, sniff, snivel. Awe, how comma you actin' that way ;(((( Besides, you better be nicer to me or next time I'll # your tiny ! into the dirt and you'll be cryin' like a little *. That's all I have to say about the matter, period. And don't you ever ? me about it again or I'll hunt you down and / all four of your tires. And I'll bet you a $ to a donut, you'll think twice before trying to - my spirits. Now that I've delivered a well deserved tongue lashing, I think we're about =
Hello R:
Nahhh.. I got no problem with commas.. It's them damn apo'strophies that vex me.
excon
All hail the ellipse...
This is a travesty of grammar, excon. A travesty I say! You didn't even take out any letters, you just stuck that poor apostrophe in there for NO REASON. That makes me want to cry. :(
Thank you for thinking of the commas!!
When you put a comma in, it's a pause. When you put too many commas in your sentences, it sounds like you're gasping for breath, in my opinion. Or it makes you sound unbearably pretentious.
