Also, when the pause between two adjacent sentence is awkwardly inadequate, try writing a dot above the comma.

Ah, you missed the chance to refer euphoniously instead to the pause between clauses!

Back in the good old 1980s, I witnessed how a teacher, in front of the whole school assembly in the gym, cracked a joke about Mrs. Claus (of Santa) being the "subordinate Claus". It drew some boos; today it would likely be blood.

If he tried saying that in a shopping maul, near a pair of Claus, it could be a death sentence. Certainly elf abuse.

The join between two phrases has the point that abrases; the pause between the clauses has the clew that is true!
