Not sure when it all started, but my use of comma's is getting out of hand. In the early days, I was just a casual user, only putting one or two, into a sentence. Here I am many years later, becoming a hard core user. Im ashamed to admit it, but sometimes, I generate a sentence, long enough to fit 7 or 8 comma's in. There's nothing like the high of an 8 comma fix. As a result now, when I have to write a very short sentence, with no comma's, im having punctuation withdrawls. My son has started intensive intervention strategies, which involves him reading back my work to me, in a somewhat mocking manner. He reckons, that to read anything I write sounds like William Shatner, in his star trek role, on weed. As cruel as his impersonations are, im forced to admit, that im a comma junkie. As part of my therapy, you will see posts of mine, with comma's missing. This is an intentional act, where im forced to look at my posts, knowing they can never be changed. Im also worried though, as my withdrawal, may push me onto harder punctuations, like full stops and exclamation marks. Does anyone else suffer from this over use of punctuations. Knowing im not the only one, would go a long way into, helping me with my recovery.
