Re: Hyphen
"en-rules" = printer's term for what most people call dashes.Yes, you could use commas or parentheses "( )". People tend to use dashes to indicate a longer pause before and after the clause if the sentence is spoken.

Re: Commas and prepositional phrases
Hi, I recently wrote a paper for a class and was told that several of my commas were in error. I offset some prepositional phrases with commas and was told that this is incorrect. I am pretty sure I do this often, but I have never before had a teacher tell me it is wrong. One of the...

Re: Commas and brackets (parentheses)
Hi, I've written a document and the reviewer has indicated that I should have a comma before and after my brackets. For example: "another job (listed in TOAD) which is..." becomes "another job, (listed in TOAD), which is...". Is this grammatically correct? It's a question of style rather than...

Re: Putting Who? What? Where? How? When? into a sentence, how is it punctuated?
Welcome to the forums! I suppose you could say--So I start with basics. I ask myself, "Who? What? Where? How? When? Why?" Then your questions will be in a sentence. But I actually don't see a problem with saying it just the way you did originally. In your first sentence, you should probably...

Re: Optional commas.
I would put commas between therefore because that gives a speaker a pause. The lack of a pause is precisely why I would not use a comma in the third sentence. I would not pause there -- probably because that is not an unusual location in that sentence for the word 'therefore'.However, the...

Re: Comma after this quote??

Re: IC, and therefore IC. Where do commas go?
Frankly, I would not put any commas in.At most, your first option is the one to go for.From the point of comma usage, in your second sentence, you require the commas before and after "therefore", but not the one after "sentence".
