Terminal Comma

A comma at the end of a comment, clause or even otherwise-perfect sentence that then receives no continuation.
My cousin used the terminal comma when she sent me this text message:

> Wow, grandma didn't invite you to the family get-together,

and then all my cousins and brother went to the movies.

Comma Abuse

When people, of course, overuse a specific, English, character, to the point where the writer, has attempted, an act, considered, as "Comma Abuse." It is annoying, for the reader, to try and make out, from the actual words, such as the constant, excessive, pauses, every, single, word. Aspies, also, do, this, too. Does, this, annoy, you?
You can't put a comma like that! You can't put commas before who! I hate comma abuse! It's so aggravating!
