Comma's before names 2020 Responses

Does it bother anyone else to put a comma before someone's name?
for example:
"Thanks for the hand job, Francine."When you're speaking this in voice, there is no pause at all. So there should be no comma.
It should be:
"Thanks for the hand job Francine."- Aug 21, 08, 2:08 p.m. – Permalink

yet you have problem with improperly used apostrophes.
Odd.

Yeah, there is a pause. I can't believe you don't notice others, if not yourself, using it. And yes, I always use a comma when appropriate. As someone who works with type almost every day, I hold myself to high grammatical standards (not that proper grammar is very difficult, in my view).

well obviously it is used grammtically in this instance and not so much for pacing.
you are addressing someone, sparky. therefore the pause isn't significant and can be overlooked as we generally speak in a hastened manner which is directly proportionate to our rat-race lifestyle. grammatically it is still quite correct, even though getting your brother Frank to dress up in drag and give you hand jobs isn't.

What's, the big idea, with comma's?
Everyone knows, smartquote's is where it's at.

So, yeah, when did schools pretty much give up on trying to teach proper grammar? Just wondering. As much as I was an underachieving smart-ass punk, I still made it out with decent grammar skills (and my school system was the fourth worst in the state).

i'm very lazy online. but in work communications, my stuff is flawless.
i hate whenever people say "i SEEN her walking down the street yesterday". it's fucking "SAW", not "seen".
