As Paul Simon might have sang, there must be 50 ways to use a comma. Unless the little buggers sow unnecessary confusion, I don’t get exercised about them. But then, I enjoy William Blake’s decidedly ungrammatical use of punctuation to mark tempo. And I like subordinate clauses. Guess I’d make a lousy technical writer.

I find the majority of formal audio reviews across numerous publications to be easy reads. However, I can barely put together a coherent thought when reading anything by Jason Kennedy, editor of the-ear.net. It is as if he does not understand the limitation of use of a comma.
