The contruction "there is" or "there are" is a delayed subject construction. The real subject follows the verb, but the rules for verb number are the same.

In the modern writting, comma is not always used in that use.

Thank you very much for your help. Now I see.

Don't use an article before "modern" there.
You need an artcle before "comma".

"Writing" is the correct spelling.
