We had to do peer editing in one of my English courses. I was the lucky student to be paired with Ms. Comma Happy. She inserted at least 40+ commas into my 3 page essay. I kid you not. I had to remove about that many from her paper. She even said to me as she handed it back, "It was really good except you needed a lot more commas."
