That's great, however, perhaps we could stick with conventional

Hmm...but don't believe everything you read. Lots of rubbish has been written
in books
Here's an example, check out Rules 9 and 19. You may also wish
to read the sentences on this page that begin with "If". There
are probably better examples and authorities on the web, but
all my grammar bookmarks are on another machine right now that
I cannot get to. This is the first thing google brought up when
I used keywords of 'grammar if clause comma'.

Hmm...rule 1 looks a bit dodgy, putting a comma before the word and? There are some interesting examples on that page though. Thanks for the link.
English has always been my weak point. I'm slightly dyslexic so I appreciate other people reviewing my work.
And I'm not sure that "...DOH!" is
something we should be putting in a technical book. In fact, I know
it shouldn't be there.
I do note, however, that in your corrections, you decided to keep it.
Yes, I don't see the harm. I'd like to keep it, but you can take it out if you
want. It's not that important. Code is important. Style and tone are just
surface. It's up to you.
Thanks
Andy
