RE: For those who think punctuation matters: validation!

[John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Actually, I don't think the comma matters one way or the other. The
original form with the misplaced second comma:

?shall continue in force for a period of five years from the date it
is made, and thereafter for successive five-year terms, unless and
until terminated by one year prior notice in writing by either
party.? 

How is this different?

?shall continue in force for a period of five years from the date it
is made, and thereafter for successive five-year terms unless and
until terminated by one year prior notice in writing by either
party.? 

I think it is the inclusion of the word "unless", which modifies the
statement before it.

It's not the comma...it was just written poorly.
