I hopeI haven't confused anyone, Gustav - especially as I teach English, too.

I was about to spell out the way the punctuation works in both cases, yours and mine. However, I think it will just add confusion. Allow me instead to declare that both are correct.

If English is not your mother tongue, you'll certainly know how very strange and contradictory this language is. It amazes me that it has become the international language. So many other languages have rules which are always followed. English, it seems to me, has new rules created for it almost daily. Listen (though not recommended) to the way the supporters of the, er, president elect over the Pond use the language.

Cheers, Gustav
