Not to be too blunt about it, but here illustrates the difference between a lawyer writing and a journalist writing. You and I have no editors. If we write ungrammatically, we have no one to save us from ourselves. Journalists have editors to clean their work up.
The dirty secret is that journalism is probably the least rigorous form of professional writing there is. Which is why Kelly Green can't or won't use commas. He just never had to learn.Comment

500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.Comment

Thou Art Wrong
I was using WAAAY too many commas when I started as a stringer reporter in newspapers upstate -- I was WRITING the way I would speak. After 23 years in radio, I'd put a comma in a sentence at the point where I would have paused while reporting a sports story on air.
The end result was the sports editor/page editor was taking commas out -- and I would get a note saying that I was using way too many commas.
So there...ooops, I'm sorry......so, there."If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"Comment

You don't use commas correctly.
You need an editor to correct you.
Where am I wrong?Comment

He sees no value in using proper punctuation. He wouldn't know an Oxford comma if it bit him in the arse.Comment

Okay, Let Me Be Blunt
The overuse was 16 YEARS ago Einstein. My stories are no longer subject to an editor's judgement.
The sentence you questioned was written INTENTIONALLY without commas to reflect how I would have said it were this an audio format.
Of course you'll still claim superiority, so why do I bother?"If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"Comment

So the overuse was when you were what, 50? Your editor was bitching at you for misusing commas when you were 50? Holy shit I thought you were talking about when you were a cub reporter not a grizzled old man.Comment

I WAS A Cub NEWSPAPER Reporter, Genius!!
I had never -- NEV-ER -- written for a newspaper! Age is meaningless when you're starting a new career -- and, for the record, I was 43 at the time!!"If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"Comment
