I remember a teacher telling the class that the rule changed from the first to the second. I also remember a teacher bitterly complaining about how this rule change affected the meaning and rhythm of poetry included in our textbooks. I tend to agree it's sacrilege to change punctuation within an already written poem in order to conform to updated punctuation standards.

In 2001, I helped prepare a professor's paper for submission to a scientific journal. That journal was still requiring the comma before the "and." I had the fun job of hunting these down and fixing them.

As far as I can tell, the inmates are running the asylum.

I was taught, a thousand years ago...

No comma before the word and because the and is in place of the comma which is distinct seperation of and including another..thing.

I use two spaces after the . If not, it's not special and it appears to be just a space within a sentance and it should be special. It is special and i will continue to make it special.

I believe these two things have changed now. I don't care, i'm still using it as was taught to me because it feels right.

Wow i didn't realize how passionate i feel about some punctuation. But, it is a form of our communication and represents our thoughts and feelings.

I suppose it's ok to feel this way.
