In fact and Too
When the word 'too' is the last word in a sentence, is it preceded by a comma? I see it both ways all the time.
He wanted to go to the movies too.
OR
He wanted to go to the movies, too.
I also see this one written both ways -- with and without commas. Which is preferred?
I, too, like apples and oranges.
OR
I too like apples and oranges.
When the words 'in fact' appear in a sentence, is it set off by commas? 1 or 2? I also see this both ways.
He was in fact responsible for her demise.

He wanted to go to the movies too.
OR
He wanted to go to the movies, too.

The commas should be there for formal writing. Omit them if you like in short utterances.
