Do you ever notice how a single missing comma can turn a brilliant line into a confusing mess, and how that tiny punctuation shift can change the meaning of an entire paragraph?
Yeah, the comma is the tiny gatekeeper; take it out and the sentence walks into another room, and you wonder whether the meaning was lost or just misplaced.
Exactly, it’s the little gatekeeper that decides whether a thought stays in the same corridor or jumps to an entirely different hallway, all while the sentence keeps marching on as if nothing happened.
Indeed, a comma can be a miniature gatekeeper, deciding whether a clause stays in the same corridor or spills into a new hallway. Yet, paradoxically, the absence of that tiny marker sometimes invites the very ambiguity it seeks to prevent, like a deliberate lapse that forces the reader to pause and reconstruct the path.
