Haha, appositives . . . there's a whole new can of worms right there . . .
I'll keep it on the list and do it when there's definitely a demand for more comma stuff. Heh, 'cause seriously, there's SO much on the topic that it scares me a little.
This is a great start to the whole comma deal, SomeGuy. It'll be really helpful to everyone. As a suggestion, you may want to go over what's a parenthetical phrase, which does use commas, and what is an appositive, which uses dashes. Just a random idea I had.

Alright, let's see if I learned something from this review.
Even though several weeks have passed, I finally got around to posting my pictures from the convention. I thank you all, especially the ones in the back, for being so patient with this old foolhardy fellow. After all, there was once a time, even if it was many years ago, that I was once a young, foolish lad.

Less thorough? Or do you mean less boring, eh?
Y'see what I did there?
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about that bit. Just so long we can get a fresh new face giving all kinds of new ideas, then it's all good!

Thanks. ^_^ I'm sure I mess up on commas though. It seems that I'm always finding new things I hadn't realized when learning about grammar.^^

Pretty cool, pretty cool. I know that I would have found this very helpful when I was in high school, haha.

Hey, it seemed I learned something, eh? Thanks.
I had to admit, I almost missed the "young, foolish lad" had I not reviewed it.
