- bernardom 14y agoThe NYT grammar blog had an excellent entry on this: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/21/the-most-comma-mistakes/ http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/21/the-most-com... The author, a college professor, lamented how many students still come to his class making this mistake.
- pessimizer 14y agoI didn't even understand the position of the comma in this title until I mentally removed the "is." Maybe the headline writer has a first language that is more regular. IANAGrammarian, but I think that the comma itself would be the copula in this sentence if the "is" was removed. With the "is", no need for the comma. edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_copula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_copula
