  • Honestly I’m not sure if I’m critiquing widely accepted English grammar because it seems kinda like the serial comma (some use, some don’t), but I don’t know the name for it.

    The NY Times piece on commas doesn’t cite any sources and gives examples with and without based on Byzantine rules I highly doubt anyone follows, and the OWL doesn’t seem to cover this specifically.

    So… any idea what this particular type of comma is called that I’m wrong about but would like to persuade others that I should be right?
