What is the correct punctuation for this sentence One of the parties John Doe entered my land and that's how the accident happened?
The words 'John Doe' constitute what is known as a 'sentence interupter.' The flow of the sentence is interrupted by the words 'John Doe.' Go ahead and read the sentence aloud without the words 'John Doe' to get the feel of the flow of the sentence. Now read it again with the words 'John Doe'and you'll get the mildly jarring sense of the interruption. This is not to suggest that sentence interrupters are necessarily bad. They can be used to great effect as a form of emphasis. But they should be used sparingly. Sentence interrupters are set off by commas fore and aft. OK, I'll settle down. Put commas before and after a sentence interrupter. Example: 'One of the parties, John Doe, entered my ...' Note: In rare instances a sentence interrupter can be punctuated by dashes rather than commas.
