Hi. If I try to check a sentence of the following sort in Grammarly
Clear water, numerous beach facilities, fascinating sunsets(,) and sunrises, affordable prices — all this is available to the guests of our resort.
the service always says that I must put a comma there. But if I put it, a new 'advanced' issue appear suggesting that I must remove it. Then the situation repeats itself. Is there any reason for that? Thanks.
I can’t answer for Grammarly, but there should be no comma between sunrises and sunsets.
anonymousIs there any reason for that?
Yes. You are expecting a computer to think for you. The poor little thing can't do that.

I may as well join in.
