I was an associate editor for a magazine publishing house back in the day.

I never used, nor do I use now, a comma before the "and".

For instance, I write, "I love oranges, apples and pears.".....or..... "Bill O'Reilly is a socialist, liberal, progressive, populist and statist gas bag."

Many moons ago I borrowed exclamation points from freeper Pete Kessler, and though I have used them profusely, abundantly and frequently over the years I still have many left. I LUV exclamation points! Thanks, Pete!

Punctuation marks, like paragraphs, are our friends!!!

Leni !

Is it just me, or is it less appropriate for males to over use exclamation points, than females?

Thanks! Leni!

I also love! And use ! a lot!

My supply of exclamation points (!) seems to be endless.

Commas, not so much.

But feel free to help yourself!

I’m working on securing a truckload of... dots, which I’ll share with... anyone.

...who needs them, of course.
