Karl Kraus was dying when he learned that the Japanese had invaded Manchuria. "None of that would have happened," he exclaimed, "if we had been more strict in the use of commas." I won't go as far as to say, but I do believe there's no way to develop critical thinking by ignoring the use of conjunctions. I completely agree with Antoni Capmany: "Anyone who can't read and write never speaks about what they're thinking."
