However, you've been trying to enforce that rule where it doesn't apply, such as when two sentences are joined by a conjunction. In that case, the comma does need to be there. Keep that in mind before deciding to remove the comma. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:43, 13 February 2013 (UTC) |

[edit] Hurricane Ada
Back to the past. Sorry for being away this week. Had a hurricane to deal with.
