I type in the subject line until I can't type anymore, but always the last few characters get cut off!! You would think that end of the line would be the end of the line, not four or five spaces before the end of the line!!! That is a pet peeve of mine.

The way I was taught is that if each part of the sentence can stand alone as a separate sentence, then use a comma. In your case, the second half after the comma would not make sense as a single sentence.

Comma before with
I have done a lot of QA over the years, and lately MTs are using a comma before the word "with" throughout the entire report as if with was equal to "which." I have looked through and BOS, but I cannot find a general rule on this. Does anyone have any solid information on this? It would be very much appreciated.

comma
Subject: comma
At first I thought, comma after elbow and then after epicondyle. but the rest of the sentence doesnt make sense. But a hint of where to put a comma is, if the sentence can still make sense from before the first comma continuing after the second comma. as in: joint effusion of the elbow noted anterior..... BUT the rest of the sentence does not make sense.
