<< Topic question: Do coordinating conjunctions necessitate commas?>>
I'm under the impression that it's a matter of style.
"I like apples and I like bananas, but I detest those filthy tomatos."
Adding a comma before "and" in the above sentence would slightly change the flow of the sentence, which may not be to the authors liking. However, i've heard grammar enthusiasts claim that a comma must always preceed a coordinating conjunction. What do you think?
