This made-up example is not far from many of the sentences I¡¯ve read from students who finished high school and are now embarking upon college: "In the morning, my brother Joseph, took the bus, to work, in the rain."
Notice how most of the discrete elements in the sentence (prepositional phrase, subject, verb, object, prepositional phrase) have been separated by commas. In truth, you don¡¯t need a single comma in this sentence!
This writer suffers from comma-rhea, or uncontrollable comma usage. The opposite extreme also exsits, called comma-phobia, which renders the writer completely incapable of adding a comma because she or he can¡¯t decide if it belongs and if so, where.
There are indeed rules for commas regarding opening phrases and clauses in sentences (use them always with clauses and with phrases of five or more words), regarding dates and cities (you must use a comma after the year and after the state or country–not just after the city or day), and regarding series (to separate the elements within).
I haven¡¯t got the time to explain all the comma rules here, but they¡¯re available through various Web resources (or wait for my long-gestating book, Grammar Sucks).
My point is that we need to do some English grammar shock treatment on those teachers who insist on perpetrating facile but misleading and often-erroneous rules to write by.
Such as "never end a sentence with a prepostion" (see preceding sentence) or use fragments in writing (like this one).
