Some commas are NOT objective errors, since they are easily identifiable and clear grammar rules are set about them. This is verifiable. When you have two sentences that can stand on their own and are connecting it with a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), you must put a comma on the word before the conjunction. Every university will verify this.

“Overall, I am glad that I came across this book and I enjoyed reading it!”
I was told by an editor that I should have a comma after the word “book” - is that correct or was the editor wrong?
Thanks!

The editor is wrong. You should ask for a recheck and cite Scott's post:Elina Loyet wrote: ↑21 May 2025, 07:28 Hi, what about this sentence?
