Lost in Tom Swifties and punctuation (Question about commas)

[RAMd®d]

Janit's answer sounds proper, though I wouldn't know correct from incorrect.

I use a lot of commas, to the dismay of some MRFers, apparently.

But they help emphasize words or thoughts in my sentences and establish a certain cadence of my speech.

In reading, some may give too much emphasis to the comma as though there were times ascribed to them.

Maybe I should use one or more depending on their function in a sentence.

If I'm honest, I've only clicked on this thread to read Todd's keyboard's sign-off.

Proper grammar is more by guess and by golly for me.

But that probably goes without saying.
