Oh, but lil!

    Just because they are childlike, does not mean that the commas are correct.

Your comma is not correct here either!

"Just because they are childlike does not mean that the commas are correct."

In consolation, I offer you Muphry's Law.

I would also note in passing, and not aiming particularly at any commenter, but it is hard to take grammar advice from those whose comments exhibit egregious errors. On the other hand, this is an informal forum where we are discussing grammar, not a formal assignment or some such, so I understand that for instance when you, lil, put your comma in that place, you were typing to reflect sound/the way you spoke, as opposed to maybe striving for correctedness. And Hubski doesn't have a spell check feature on the comments, and some people have a hard time with spelling indeed: I am trying not to be too critical. Muphry's Law, everyone.
