[KarlMarx]

Here's yet another good reference. It's the classic "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White, but online!

So when you're posting on USMB and you're not sure when to use a comma, or an apostrophe, or not sure whether to use the active voice or the passive voice, you can go this nifty reference and find out!

Always place a comma between a complete sentence (thanks is a contraction for "Thanks be to you," a complete sentence) and the one you are addressing it to, Mr. P.
