proper punctuation for "as well as", "as well", "in addition to" and "too"

No commas are used before or after them.

I'd say it all depends on the context...

If at the beginning of a sentence you would use a comma ( , ) after the phrase. if used in the middle of a sentence and both sentences would stand alone it would include a semi colon before the phrase and comma after the phrase. If only one sentence would stand alone you would use a comma before the phrase only. Examples follow

Hi,

In addition, the board meeting was dry. OK

Hi, would it be awkward or wrong to use "socially oriented" for your hyphenated part "social-oriented"? Do we often connect two adjectives (as it seems to me) with a hyphen to act as sort of a group adjective?

You wrote:

In termes of meaning, 'make poor company' is a social-oriented phrase that we don't normally associate witha board meeting.

Hi,
I wrote in a casual manner.

Clive

That's incorrect.

Be nice to Clive.

that is also another way of using as well as although i also think that as well as can also be used to show that two people do the same thing or like the same thing
e.g
Susan likes volleyball.Jane likes volleyball.
Susan, as well as Jane, likes volleyball.

I for one love the commas. My mother is a comma, and so i s my best friend. Commas are my life. Please don't be mean to them.
