Commas 
I had so much trouble with commas when I was in school.  I worked so hard to get them just right and you know what?  Now that I'm working for a major hospital - they don't care about commas at all!!  As a matter of fact, they would prefer that I leave them out unless absolutely necessary! So now it's like I have to retrain my brain all over again!

But if in doubt, don't put one.  It is better to put less commas than to put too many.   
That what I was told.  
	 
	
FYI - ALL commas and periods go INSIDE quotation marks!
