Man, I'm even BOREDER today.

Man, I used to use a lot of commas. Boy howdy, did I ever. I think this came from reading older stuff like Hugo and Dumas, where commas were sprinkled everywhere, between every claus.

And in modern writing commas are increasingly sparse. You've even got a willing disregard for commas in traditionally comma'd phrases like

go shark go

The trend of language is to simplify over time, which is why words that were formed of 12 letters in Old English used 8 in Middle and 6 now.

Anyway.
