I am a firm believer in the Oxford Comma and will add these to your document unless you specify otherwise. - I’ll re-check anything you change in response to my suggestions. If I recommended changes that require your input, I’ll look over each of them, provided you’ve tracked your changes. Included up to one hour. - I’ll help you track where you go rogue.
