Punctuation

This past week in my Comm 160 class we learned about punctuation. One thing that I took from this lesson was how many times we misuse commas. For example, when listing a series of things your going to do for the day there is no comma before the last item (feed the dog, wash the car and take a shower). Also a rule that a lot of people follow is when reading a sentence and you need to take a breath a comma might need to be placed there. Another rule is always put a comma after introductory words like for instance, however, meanwhile and therefore. After this lesson I started noticing every time a comma is needed, and when other people use a comma when none is needed.
