All you need is periods.’When I tried to explain to him that even one misplaced comma can change the whole meaning of a sentence, it fell on deaf ears. Boy, are we in trouble...“

“I don’t think so. I am amazed at some pretty successful people in this generation who lack good communication skills, so I guess it’s not necessary anymore.“
