...are available to you, including CAMPUS LIBRARY..... Explanation: I think the comma is best placed before the list commencing with 'including'. That gives the reader time to pause for breath before starting it.... Hope this helps. |

peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1FYI I would add two commas: one before including and Explanation: one after tennis courts. Common usage has been to drop the comma that would normally go after tennis courts, but the string of "ands" makes the sentence hard to parse on the first take. The comma before including is also for sense and meaning; it accompanies the pause that the voice makes in saying the sentence. It is not 100% obligatory, but the sentence really doesn't read right without it. So your feeling that a comma was missing was correct, in my book! Sorry to get to this one so late, but I hope that this helps! |
