1 Commas surround Ms. Ehrlich because she’s being directly addressed in this sentence. Also, well is an introductory word, so even without Ms. Ehrlich, you’d still need a comma after well.

2 See the preceding answer.

3 The pronoun I is part of the main idea of the sentence, not an introductory expression. No comma should separate it from the rest of the sentence.

4 The phrase of Toe-Ring International is an essential identifier of the type of employee being discussed. No comma should separate it from the word it describes (employee).

5 A comma follows the introductory expression, First and most important.

6 The introductory expression When I applied for the job should be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.

7 Two descriptions are attached to lunches — two and long. These descriptions aren’t of the same type. Two is a number, and long is a measure of time. Also, numbers are never separated from other descriptions by a comma. The verdict: Delete the comma after two.

8 In this sentence the expression Sneaking out the back door isn’t an introductory element. It’s the subject of the sentence, and it shouldn’t be separated from its verb (is) by a comma.

9 The introductory expression Because no one ever watches what I am doing at Toe-Ring should be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.

10 Also is an introduction to the sentence. Slice it off with a comma.

11 A comma follows Idaho because it is the last word of an introductory element.

12 Two descriptions are attached to employees: most experienced and most skilled. Because these descriptions are more or less interchangeable, a comma separates them from each other.

13 No comma ever separates the last description from what it describes, so the comma before employees has to go.

14 Two descriptions (in this case two and extra) aren’t separated by commas when one of the descriptions is a number.
