You should have learned about the subjunctive mood in the sixth grade. Or were you absent that day?

No.. That second comma makes 'grammatical errors' a statement on its own, and makes so little sense that you almost blew up the time space continuum through your ignorance of grammar.

Originally posted by ChessPraxisYes, but everyone talks differently and pauses at different points of a sentence. Apparently though, there are correct places to put them in a sentence. So who is right and who is wrong? Also, there is an implied pause before the word 'and' and 'or', so a comma is not needed. Would this implied pause also precede 'but' and 'so' and if not, why not?
It's like, you pause a bit, when you read stuff. 😕

Originally posted by Trev33No, there may be several types of silicone involved (particularly if you're discussing either more than one woman), so silicones is also correct.
In this context it should've been 'plastic and silicone'.
That waterfall has a lot of waters.

Pick the correct sentence... basically what we're working with here.
I did not precede the word with "a lot of", so that quibble is irrelevant. A more closely similar sentence involving water would be "The greatest source of plastic polution these days is yuppies drinking bottled waters."; they may be drinking several bottled waters (Pellegrino, Dasani and Naive), collectively as well as individually.
