Type of usage.
1. A story that buries its intriguing concept beneath a deluge of cliches.
2. A small change makes a big difference
How does 2 differ from 1 in terms of being a sentence?
Today I wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to my son James and my new daughter-in-law, Brooke on their destination wedding in the Bahamas.
My son, John, is awesome. (If you have just one son.)
But withhold the comma if not unique:
My son John is awesome. (If you have more than one son.)
Is the son's name still in apposition like the new daughter though? He has more than one son, ok, and the daughter in law is unique so takes a comma but they are both in apposition (my son/my new daughter in-law)
