I’m gonna guess the title David refused to say was Captain Underpants.
You know me well.

A Summer Movie Preview … and no Josh Fadem ?! What gives ?
No Josh Fadem?!
Alright — can we get a Fall Movie Preview w/ Fadem later on this year?
I have to side with Tyler regarding commas because it’s also a matter of rhythm and style, not just efficiency/redundancy as David argues. Just because it’s possible to use fewer commas does not make it more correct, if it did, they would teach you in school to write like Ernest Hemingway. But obviously the way Hemingway writes is just a style, not something that is more, or less, correct.
A bigger thing for me than commas is the word “that.” People use way too many thats! People will write things like “I think that the reason that he said that is that he’s upset that she’s gone.” Ok, how about “I think the reason he said that is he’s upset she’s gone.” I’m convinced you could simply remove about 50% of instances of the word “that” from all texts.
I would love it if more people wrote like Ernest Hemingway.
