Unnecessary commas:
- don't use a comma after the last item in a series.
- My general rule for commas is to use them when it feels right and not use them when it doesn't. I think that this generally works out pretty well. All the examples from the book of where not to put a comma are instances that sound weird to put a comma anyway.
Semicolon
- used to connect parts of a sentence that could stand alone but are related.
- the book gives a handy list of words and phrases that signify that a semicolon should be used
Quotation marks
- used for titles of short works
- no quotation marks for long indented quotes
- use single quotation marks for a quote within a quote
