Hal Breden	The comma before 'and' is an optional thing, as Wilhelm said. If you're creating a legal document and you don't include it, then the meaning might come out differently from what you intended it. For general writing, it doesn't really matter. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Togan Jano	Hmm, i've learned in my english class to only use s for plural. 's is only used for abbreviation of "is" or if it's genitive. ____________

Tenodera Aridifolia	add an apastrophe to an abbreviation when: -the abbreviation is entirely lower cased (png's) -has internal periods (Ph.D's) -is a single letter (A's instead of As) think that covers it, been a while since I looked into a style guide.

Teniel Djo	Yes, but not "SD's", since it's not a single letter, the correct form would still be SDs (or STDs in Wilhelm's case) As per the comma question, it's actually referred to as an Oxford or Harvard comma :) And there's a poem about it! A little knot of writers at a prize-giving ceremony, standing uncertainly, looking at the stage and the side table with scrolls and envelopes containing magical cheques, we discuss to show erudition and hide fear the Oxford comma and the use of it. 'Unnecessary,' someone offers. 'An extra fence where no animal was escaping.' 'But perhaps a breath,' another suggests. 'A large egalitarian family being given pocket money or sharing beds, a demarcation with bolsters.' Victory, loss, effusions, and stoicism someone thinks but doesn't say as the crowd files in and takes their seats. ____________
