Re: Comma Question - example of misuse
This is an actual sentence written by the head of our Legal Department and sent to the entire company. I swear by Granny I didn't make this up:
"We are pleased to inform you that, effective one week from today, we will be implementing, Websense, an Internet web blocking solution." |
