A lawyer friend in a large partnership told me that part of his work entailed removing the commas from documents (ie to render the meaning more ambiguous). I wonder if this is just a standing joke in the legal profession, or if it has a basis in truth. Certainly a reminder of the value of correct punctuation to ensure meaning is clear. Would be glad to hear comments.
