Commas are great for lists, and for combining two sentences into one using a conjunction like and, or, but, etc.; like I just did.

If you made each side of the comma a sentence then arguably neither would make a complete sentence.

but, you know, english isn't everybods native language, so i don't give a fuck, if someone puts a comma somewhere, where they shouldn't.

I don't mind all of the commas except the last 3. I think the comment should have ended after "fuck".

In your opinion, were there too many commas in my original comment? (Serious question)

Edit: just because I'm curious. I like my writing to be at least somewhat proper.
