Well, that's an interesting question.  I lived in Zurich in 1966-67,
and then took 4 years of German in highschool (straight As), and then
scored a perfect 800 on the SAT German Achievement test.  I don't
recall that commas were particularly an issue in German, though.
(I've hardly touched it since, so I'm sure I don't have it all
straight *now*.)
