In Japanese, "、" (読点 tōten) is similar to the English comma; it is used to separately multiple clauses in a sentence. To my understanding, there really aren't grammatical rules for using it like there are in English. In addition, Japanese has no spaces which might lead to some confusion on the how punctuation and spaces are laid out in English. I think the most notable thing from Japanese -> English speakers is the lack of article usage (words like a, an, the) because they simply don't exist in Japanese. But I digress, the main take away is that other languages may not have as strict rules on some of the grammatical structures that are similar to those we use in English.
