The Times of India's carried an editorial on how the comma is, or can be, redundant, and you guessed it, without a single comma. It cited Columbia University's John McWhorters' view that the comma is way past its expiry date. However, it wasn't an easy task for the editorialist who had to resort to as many as seven dashes (—) in a 274 word edit, which indicates one punctuation has to replace another? But its absence helped write tighter sentences, so rare in editorials in most newspapers.
