Question about bad editing

[AG1976]

Thank you for the info! It will come in handy .

ETA: I went back and looked at my Remilon writer test, since I remember similar sentences, and found that I used this type of phrasing:

Editor here, although not for Remilon. I've completed 2 writing assignments there and am still debating staying. Anyhow, Your sentence should read, "The residency in Phoenix, Arizona, gives graduates the opportunity ..." because commas are used to set off the entire geographical name. When you use a city and a state name together, they are treated as one parenthetical element. Now, Remilon has its own style guide that contradicts some AP style, but this comma rule is standard English.

Helpful! Thanks for the links! Comma placement is not one of my strengths.

Thanks so much for posting this! Commas are not my strength either. This went straight into my writing notes!
