Type of usage/restrictive non restrictive.

Karen has braved having her hair cut short for Cancer research, in honour of two people close to her.

Karen has braved having her hair cut short for Cancer research in honour of two people close to her.


What is the difference between using the comma before 'in honour'? It's a non restrictive part of the sentence but is this usage at the writers discretion or is the comma always needed?





What is, is. So just deal with it.


Can this hold together as a sentence. Are there any instances where a phrase can stand alone (perhaps for effect) or do they always have to be connected in some way to the rest of the sentence?

The sentence seems to have another problem. I don't think she had her hair cut "for" cancer research. Pr
