Still no comment from the author about the widespread and irritating misuse of the errant comma between subject and predicate, even among supposedly professional or academic writers.
Thankfully, the issue is tackled online by "Nuria la correctora" in the link below.

...and no response, nary a peep.
Ho hum, I suppose I'll just have to continue my own self-imposed mission to nag punctuation abusers into acquiescence - particularly the perpetrators of the ubiquitous dodgy apostrophe in English and those of the rogue unnecessary comma inveterately inserted willy-nilly after the subject of the sentence in Spanish.

Please include something about the widely-extended misuse of the comma after the subject in castellano. It is one of the most irritating and virtually ubiquitous errors in Spanish speakers, frequently perpetrated by otherwise thoroughly well-educated writers.

¡Basta, ya!
