I do believe in commas! I do! I do!

Found on Neil Gaiman's Lj, "Copy-editing can sometimes wear you down -- when you've copy-edited the manuscript, and then the galleys, and you've done it twice for two different countries with two different ideas of what they want their commas to do, and you wonder if it's worth it, trying to keep track of every little comma...

Then you read an account of a 2.13 million dollar comma, and you remember why commas matter."

I especially believe in the 2.13 million dollar comma.
