Where should a comma be placed in this sentence? kari and misha, who have known each other since first grade are both yearbook editors and photographers.

The answer to your question would be that in the sentence above a comma should be placed after "first grade". That is, the sentence would be as follows: Kari and Misha, who have known each other since first grade, are both yearbook editors and photographers.

"Who have known each other since first grade" is a nonessential relative clause. A nonessential relative clause is one that is not necessary. Consequently, the clause can be removed from the sentence without altering the sentence's meaning. When a sentence has a nonessential relative clause, the clause is set apart with commas.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
