Hi Jim (or should it be Hi, Jim or Hi,, Jim)?
It is, I am sure, OK to be a punctuation freak and it does sometimes
make a real difference as in "A woman; without her, man is nothing" and "A
woman without her man is nothing."
One of my pet peeves is the misplacement of 'only'; before instead of
after the verb, "I only ate one egg this morning"; implying that you didn't
do something additional with the egg. When "I ate only one egg..." is likely
intended.
