GAH! *Censored*

This is just no more than a follow-up related to the deleted "GAH!*Censored*" post.

Today we got our evaluation essays back. The first thing you notice, aside from the scribbled A, is the overabundance of commas that she added (without being asked). Those darn dots-dangling-a-tail are real sons of bitches in English, just like in any other language. The rules governing their use are as opaque as vomit. Sometimes put it, sometimes don't, do put it in front of "but", but don't if... yadayadayada. In the end, a few concrete cases aside, commas are optional, and depend on the tone of your writing more than anything else. (Come to think of it, they also look a little like sperm.)
Anyways, for some reason, the english teacher seems to love them. If you replace every comma she added with "euh" or "aah", and read it out loud, it would be EXACTLY like how she talks.
