Another :

What's with people putting a comma after the subject?

At this point, I'm used to people using an apostrophe with plural. Don't understand it, but used to it. E.g. "No student's allowed."

But, what's with the subject + comma?

Examples: "His sister's friend, is coming to visit next week." or "The car I bought last week, runs well."

Seems to happen when subject phrase is a couple of words.

Is there any research showing the damage done to typography / page layout / etc. due to people becoming used to the defaults of MS Word and other word processors?

I feel like bad page layout (etc.) is just accepted as the norm because that's what everyone sees and creates everyday.

Compare output with output and the difference is clear, yet seems few people appreciate that. Crappy is "good enough".
