However, I am shocked how often I have to correct adult work by adding missing or misused commas. I even had a discussion about using the "Oxford comma," which I quoted a recent article from Maine. In the article, the court found a missing comma in Maine's overtime laws were grammatically ambiguous. Therefore, five workers won their appeal and were eligible for overtime.
