	<section>
		 <p>There were times when you probably wanted to show your list items in a paragraph or in a statement. There must be commas and 'and's at appropriate places. That is why pseudo-commas were born. Of course, we could get brute force with fewer* lines of JavaScript, but there is no harm to give it a shot-in-wild with CSS (●'◡'●)</p>
