    There seems to be a trend in journalism to avoid the word “and” and replace it with commas. I hate it.

    This is much more readable:

          It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It’s older than the majority of words you use. It isn’t a trend.

            Just curious;

            Can’t a style of writing specific to an industry be considered a trend? Or does it have to be a recent/popular fad to be considered as such.
