How to comma a sentence with the form of:”The customary notice period was waived and almost immediately he left the country to take up a new appointment overseas.”
Strict grammar tells me it's 'waived, and, almost immediately, he' (which seems pedantic)
My editor prefers 'waived, and almost immediately, he (which seems unnatural)
I prefer "waived and, almost immediately, he" (which is how I would read it)
Which one please?
