Commas can make a big difference. It doesn't matter whether you think they make a difference. Other people read these; what do they think if they see any kind of error? No wonder nobody respects the transcription profession. It is to simple to learn grammar and puncturation. I guess it is just more fun to be angry and attack people. Yes, I DO HAVE ANGER ISSUES. I'm tired of other MTs who make my chosen profession look STUPID.
