It takes a conscious effort to translate the rhythm of a sentence into writing using punctuation. The comma often marks a brief pause in the flow of a sentence, and helpfully distinguishes one phrase from another. The comma helps the reader, and without it the reader would often have to go back and reread a sentence to find out exactly what the writer meant. The Comma often helps set off interrupting matter within sentences. Many writers don't realize that they are setting off a phrase, so they begin with the first comma but omit the second, which should conclude the parenthetical matter.
