Through relatable examples and a conversational tone, Jamie illuminates how proper usage and punctuation, particularly commas, significantly impact clarity and meaning. Listeners will gain practical tips to distinguish between these clauses, understand the subtle shifts in tone they create, and navigate the evolving usage of these words.
