Should there be a comma after Inc?
I have researched this question and the answer is- yes or no. It seems that either is correct. Historically a comma was used- Company Name, Inc. but according to the Chicago Style Manual it is acceptable to omit the comma. Note as well, that if in a sentence- Company Name, Inc., was providing.... a comma is used AFTER the Inc. as well. OR you can just leave out both. Is it a wonder that learning English punctuation is so difficult? ---Great answer! I tend to omit the comma if using the Company Name in a title, but if used in a sentence I leave it in...just my preference. :)

When writing a sentence does a comma go after the year before continuing with your sentence?
Commas are not mandatory after mentioning a year. There is no grammatical rule that would require the use of a comma after a date. If the year specifically concludes an introductory phrase or is used in a series of three or more, then a comma would be called for.Introductory Phrase:Before his graduation from college in 1981, Ian would never have believed he could be successful at anything.A Series:The basketball team of Westmont High School took the state title in 1960, 1973, and 1984.
