Are the commas in the right places?
I have just completed my investigation of the matter referred to in your memo. The accident did indeed occur but was an isolated incident Mia. A minor repair had not been made although the nursing home administrator, Eve Henderson, was aware that the laundry worker had reported the problem on several occasions. Therefore, it appears to be a case of simple negligence. I would suggest that you turn the matter over to our attorney Jamir Finley, Esq., in our Memphis, Tennessee, office so he can handle the matter expeditiously. In any case, the machine in question is being removed for repair.
Is "Hi, Bob" salutation correct? What is the right place for comma?
Depends on what the context is. There are two ways that it can go:1. Hi, Bob.2. Hi Bob, ...In the first case, the "Hi, Bob." is a sentence by itself. Anything that follows has a distinct body of its own; nothing need follow it even. Here the salutation is made up of only the "Hi" and it is addressed to Bob.In the second case, the comma follows Bob, and the following text is part of the same sentence essentially. That is, the whole of the salutation is done together, and the main import of the conversation is what follows. So, in letters, the comma comes after Bob.In case you are confused where to put the comma, try saying the two combinations within the context and you should realize which one is correct. Hope this helps.

Where do I place commas in these sentences?
Sorry English is my second language. I have this summary for my college class that is due next week. I have it completely written. I went back today to check for errors and I feel uncertain about where to place commas in these sentences or if a comma is even necessary. Out of my whole paper I pulled out 4 sentences. Please help! 1.) In the essay "Fatso", Cheryl Peck explains that even though she is a middle-class white woman she still gets discriminated due to her weight. //does a comma go in between 'woman' and 'she' ? 2.)Although she might have a good personality people assume negatively about her because of her weight. //Where does the comma go in this one? 3.)Some people she meets in public insult her either purposely or on accident. //I'm guessing a comma goes right after 'people' and another one after 'public'. Am i correct? 4.)Before a certain age she had no idea being overweight could cause so much emotional pain. // Does a comma go inbetween 'age' and 'she' ?

Should the quotation mark be placed before or after a period/comma?
This is one of the significant differences betweeen British English & US English. Which is "right" will depend on where you are.British - the sentence includes the quotes, so the closing punctuation is after them. "Like this".American - the sentence is enclosed - "like this."Personally, I think the latter is weird as the closing " just floats - it does not belong to a sentence.But then I am British, and trying to apply logic to punctuation is an exercise in folly...The Economist Style Guide on punctuation & inverted commaInverted commas (Quotation marks)
Is it correct to place a comma after Sr. or Jr. and the entire name if it appears mid-sentence?
Thank you for the A2A. Looking at your responses to others, I’ve edited your question to replace the word “apostrophe” with the word “comma”. I hope that’s right.“Is it correct to place a comma after Sr. or Jr. and the entire name if it appears mid-sentence?”It could be argued that “Jr” and “Sr” modify the name, and thus could be placed in parenthetical commas:“Martin Luther King, Jr, …” However, this looks oddly pedantic, and nowadays the parenthetical commas are left out.William Strunk Jr. [see what I did there?] and E.B White in their excellent The Elements of Style (Fourth Edition, 2000) put this clearly:“Although Junior, with its abbreviation Jr., has commonly been regarded as parenthetic, logic suggests that it is, in fact, restrictive and therefore not in need of a comma.”[1] (It is restrictive in this context because Jr. is not a piece of additional information about Martin Luther King, but in fact restricts the name to the person - that is, he IS “Martin Luther King Jr.)On a side note, as a matter of style, most British publications would also omit the full-stop after Jr on the grounds that, although an abbreviation, the last letter of the abbreviated form is the same as the last letter of the full form. Indeed, nowadays most style guides recommend not using full-stops for abbreviations at all: the University of Oxford[2] and The Guardian[3] are cases in point.Footnotes[1] http://www.jlakes.org/ch/web/The...[2] https://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/files...[3] Guardian and Observer style guide: A
Should I place a comma before "anyway" at the end of a sentence?
It’s best to use a comma only where there is a pause in natural speech. I suggest you try saying the sentence out loud, and that way you will know where to put the commas.In your example, I think this would be better, because this is how I would say it:She thanked me anyway, as she always does.
