One Shot Wonder - nr 2

Oh! Silly me. Well if that's a mistake, it's one that I myself would make. I read the comma as a pause between "Wonder" and "where," which just sounds better in my head.

That is how I use commas, I see no other way to use them.

But a semicolon would have been better there:

Here's a good rule: if the things you're pausing between could also be complete sentences on their own, you want a semicolon instead of a comma.

I'm just trying to annoy you now. ^_^

It's working, here, take a flag, asshole 😈😂

You can put a comma in front of a dependent clause ending a sentence for emphasis. The comma is not necessary, though.

In Finnish, one must use a comma before (or after as in English) a dependent clause. I've seen comma left out a lot of times in such cases in English sentences. My old English teacher in upper secondary school always said of commas: "When in doubt, leave it out."
