    Comma's should not scare you when typing

    comma's you can place anywhere in a sentence. Up to your discretion.

    You could say the same thing about capitalization or fragments.

    Apostrophes should be treated with a little more caution, however.

    Neither should apostrophe's. In this willy-nilly world of the internet, plural=possessive.

    OT: I insert a comma wherever I take a natural pause when reading my document.

    That apostrophe in Commas, however, is just plain wrong. Apostrophe is used for possessives, as in owning something "Jane's apple", or contractions, where letters are omitted, like in "would've"

    People probably don't tell me because they don't like me, but I probably use commas too much.

    Yeah they do. You just don't throw the S in if you're placing belonging on someting.

    Let me rephrase that. You don't use an apostrophe to make a noun plural.
