Note to GWNC: Happily, the Trader Joes by my house has uncovered a large shipment of commas from Sierra Leone and I was able to acquire literally hundreds at pennies on the dollar. Sure, they're "blood commas," but good breeding and professional pride require that good grammar take precedence over exploitation of warring native factions.
