Okaaay.... I have a *major* problem with commas. Native speaker sometimes
don't give a damn about them.... but *I* certainly do!
First of all, what about a comma before "but"? I know that it's rather
unnecessary in short expressions or equally short sentences, but what about
slightly longer ones? Like the one I've just written?
What about "as well"? Does a comma look strange in: "Please, this may take a
while, you should take a seat, as well?" ...obviously, I mean the third
comma. (It *does* look weird, I s'posse... but maybe that's how it should be?)
Oh, and BTW: I know that we put commas before and after "however"... but what
about "nevertheless", "nonetheless" and such?
...Thanks for answering these questions! ...And - quoting Arnie- "I'll be
back!" With more questions, of course...
