| Uh-oh. |
Remember that segment in Planet Earth about the polar bear being displaced as the Arctic Circle shrinks? Pretty harrowing story, right? So, too, it goes for the comma.
Today the comma is showing up increasingly in places it was never meant to exist. One of the worst of these unnatural habitats: after the conjunction. Observe the migration of this comma out of its proper environment:
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and, thyme.
Let's all do our parts in 2012. Save the commas!
