    Double Commas

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by vanilla16, Dec 21, 2011.

    I saw this sentence in an algebra textbook:
    ". . . so using fractional exponents,, we can go back and forth between roots and powers whenever we want."

    Why were two commas used in this sentence? Is there a rule to justify this usage, or could it be an error?



    TYSM,
    Vanilla16 :) ♥

    indubitably!

    there's no such thing as a 'double comma'...
