Curmudgeon, why wouldn't there be a comma before the coordinate conjunction "and" that preceeds "it"?
-- Rob | Good catch. Actually, the first comma is a bit of a problem also: They are the reason we are here; they are what matter most to all of us, and it is gratifying to see so many of you giving your time and enthusiasm to make the day a success. or They are the reason we are here; they are what matter most to all of us. And, it is gratifying to see so many of you giving your time and enthusiasm to make the day a success. |
