Grammar Tips. Comma 12.

The trend with labels is to omit the comma.

INCORRECT: David Smith, Jr. is the CEO of the company.

CORRECT: David Smith Jr. is the CEO of the company.

When it comes to labeling or categorizing items, there has been a shift away from using commas in certain contexts. Instead of including a comma to separate different elements or categories, people are now opting to omit it.

Here are some examples to illustrate this trend:

1. Traditional label: Fruits: apples, oranges, bananas

   Trendy label: Fruits: apples oranges bananas

2. Traditional category: Colors: red, blue, green

   Trendy category: Colors: red blue green

3. Traditional tag: Cities: London, Paris, New York

   Trendy tag: Cities: London Paris New York

In these examples, you can see that the traditional labels or categories include commas to separate the different items within the group. However, the trendy labels omit the comma, creating a cleaner and more streamlined appearance.

It's important to note that this trend may not be universally adopted or applicable in all contexts.
