Are you missing commas? Don’t look further, feel free to take all redundant ones from my tweets. You will find them appearing from nowhere in conjunction with a space.

Are you talking about what I think? This is a quirk of English that took me till I was in my mid-20s to learn. Commas have a very different meaning in sentences (e.g., the comma splice is a grammatical error) than in Greek or French or Spanish.

I was mocked by people for a few years, mainly my Ph.D. supervisor, until my dad explained it to me. He said: "In Greek the comma is where you pause if you were reading aloud — in English it's specific to very very certain cases only."

My Ph.D. supervisor preferred instead of explaining it to tell me just to remove them all and make an appendix for my Ph.D. that is just commas... which is funny (I guess) but it's also not exactly helping me learn anything.
