However, after reading your article, I believe it would be beneficial also for you to research the use of "less" and "fewer" and post a discussion. These two words are frequently confused as in your own sentence from your comma post "We English writers will use less commas."

Lisa Martin for Sophomore year. Someone else for AP English Senior year. Lisa Martin was a bit foreshadowing happy. I have to say, as I write my novel, I'm not paying much attention to foreshadowing. Nor do I pay much attention (consciously) to it as a reader. And when it sticks out like a sore thumb, I hate it. Sr. Theresa must have liked my comma-ing. I don't remember much special about her. Except one time when she started the class with "I dedicate this class to you, Christine." It was the lesson on the cavalier poets. Har-Har. I DID have Sr. Theresa for Junior Year.
