shadowfax 5 / 22 Jan 20, 2011 #1Ok so this is my concluding line for my GA Tech essay"After all, a rich life, in addition to academics, also includes friendships and connections to one's community and I believe that kind of life can begin at Georgia Tech."I was just wondering if I put the comma's in the right place or not. Like, do I need a comma after "After all?"Thank You in advance!!!
taniish23 - / 1 Jan 20, 2011 #2I think the commas in the first sentence are OK. It just depends on how pronounced you want the phrase "in addition to academics" to be. I could read that phrase without it being separated by commas.About the latter part of the sentence, I would put a comma between "community" and "and" in "to one's community, and I believe".That's my editorial opinion. Thanks!
alexamoses98 - / 1 Jan 21, 2011 #3I agree. Put a comma after community because those are two independent clauses.
EF_Susan - / 2364 12 Jan 26, 2011 #4A great way to learn the correct use of commas is to read Strunk and White. (Google it)"After all, in addition to academics a rich life also includes friendships and connections to one's community, and I believe that kind of life can begin at Georgia Tech."
