This also depends on the century. Shakespeare, commas are breathing markers. They developed a more rhetorical function in the 18th century if I remember correctly.

It’s one of the reasons I end up with a lot of “extraneous” commas too as a native speaker. (But comma splices are often like nails on a chalkboard to me and I just can’t with Stephen King because of his comma splices.)

Yes, sorry of course. Newton's great for sentences that in Modern English would be a paragraph to a small book of sentences. It's because of influence from Romance and other langues and as time goes on English gets more and more decoupled.

I love how grammarians decided that to deliberately split an infinitive was a crime in English because it's not possible in Latin.

Not to mention ending a sentence with a preposition. It’s perfectly fine in English dammit!

Aha! In Spanish you cannot end a sentence with a preposition, it is simply nonsensical. And there I was chatting about work with some Spanish friends on the tube in Madrid, when right at the time we stopped at a station, I finished my sentence with, of course, a preposition.

To the sudden silence, a burst of laugh from friends and surrounding witnesses, perhaps encouraged by my very confused expression.

In colloquial French, it's common for emphasis, especially with "avec". My French isn't good enough to know when. (Does my first sentence count as ending with two prepositions?
