I think I have a bad habit of thinking that when in doubt about a comma, I should totally put one in.
These are the first three sentences of my novel:
Angel's parents were having "the discussion" again. She could tell because the decibel level inside the car had risen by 9.5 for the third time. Also, her mother's use of the phrase, "too expensive" had increased exponentially.
Did I totally misuse commas in that third sentence? Or is that right? (When I read it aloud, I do like the pause after "also.")
I wouldn't be so nit-picky over it if it weren't, you know, the third sentence of my novel. ^_^;;
