CvilleEditor

My name is Jessica and I'm a freelance editor and writer located in the lovely, literary town of Charlottesville, Virginia. When I'm not working as a web editor for Business Bullpen, I'm working my magic as a freelance editor and sometimes-writer. My professional editing services include proofreading, copyediting, copywriting, content development and book design. Need my skills?

commacrazy:

Did someone teach you that you should always put a comma before “too”? They taught me that, too. Or, rather, they taught me that too.

Comma. No comma. Whichever.

This is a tough one for me, because putting a comma before “too” is almost second nature at this point. Leaving it out feels like omitting bananas from my cereal in the morning: You can eat the stuff, sure, but it’s just not the same. Something feels like it’s missing.

Grammar Girl has a great discussion of this annoying little nuance. For more about it, go here.
