I want to talk about making pauses and making lists, punctuationally speaking. Like many folks, I have yet to master the proper use of the comma. And if my comma use is bad, my use of punctuation before or between quotation marks is downright ghastly.
I apologize to those of you who have been bothered by my problems with writing mechanics. And for those of you that don’t like my using the word, “punctuationally”, get over it.

I’ve been meaning to scold you about that for some time, Liz. You can scold me for using ellipses any time I can’t remember comma rules. :- D
No worries on my part….Who’s the English major?? Remember folks …she’s “on drugs” sometimes and “post op” most of the time!
Please send along a sample of the complainer’s perfect prose, and I will give it a free editorial smackdown.
Well, now I’ve read your next post. No smackdown for you!
oh wait, see, my first response is always to be a smartass. Did someone actually complain about your writing/grammar?
