Comment on Human experimentation, one way or the other.

  I don’t like the use of commas to signify pauses. Commas are better for grammatical structure in my opinion. Better to use an ellipsis (…), or an em dash (—). My two cents.

    I used both of those elements often, when I feel they express whatever I’ve trying to say. I wanted a slight pause between the two clauses, and felt the comma did that better that your suggestions, which indicate longer pauses.

    It’s not “grammatically incorrect,” it’s just one alternative approach.

    How do you feel about semicolons

      I welcome them when they make grammatical sense. 🙂 I’m also partial as I’m a developer by trade.

        I, as an avid reader, have always tried to depend on semicolons; for when sentences have ended but deserve the epilogue.

        Approved?
