Well Stan, as a former language teacher (even though that language wasn't English) and as a writer, I do recognize that small things, like commas, can be quite significant. For example, the difference between "helping my Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping my uncle jack off a horse" is more than just a difference in a couple capital letters.


Once again you miss the main point entirely...............or conveniently ignore it. Anyway, thanks for making my case for me.

Just doing my best to answer your question, Stan. Unless you want bad things to happen, it's a really good idea--especially in the case of written documents--to make sure that everything is correct. That's why it's a good idea to have either an English teacher or a lawyer (or maybe both) available to double check.
