I’ve come to the conclusion that speech to text has played a significant role in the disappearance of commas. When things are written via speech to text, it almost never had any commas unless they say “comma”, and almost no one ever does. From there, I guess people just get used to not seeing commas, and even when they’re typing, commas don’t cross their mind.
It’s a pretty big pet peeve of mine, and I find it super frustrating to text with people who frequently used speech to text.
The first time I ever gambled, I put $20 into a slot machine, a few minutes later I was up to $60, and another few minutes down to $0. So, I don’t know if you’d consider that losing $20 or $60, but that’s the most I ever lost in a day.
