In spite of having used the language all my life, my knowledge of English
grammar and style isn't 100% perfect.  (Yes, that sentence is defective --
it appears to say that "my knowledge" has used the language.)  I have a
definite tendency to overuse commas, and I battle against this tendency by
removing them in places where they don't appear to be necessary.  Hmmm,
maybe it's time to go have a look at Strunk & White...
