Commas must've been on sale when you made that sentence since you have an extra. That only cost me a fraction of a second to parse though so I survived the experience only slightly out of phase. That extra comma is a lot like clicking the X supplied in the pop-up on that article in that it takes a short second to get past it.

I love this reply!

It is awesome.

Wow (1 word) , this comment (2 words) , is almost art. (3 words)

1, 2, 3

or

Wow (1 syllable) , this comment (3 syllables) , is almost art. (4 syllables)

1, 3, 4 (with the first two as a seed, each successive number is the sum of the previous two)

If you had continued with this progression then the text following the comma after "art" would need to be 4 words long with a total of 7 syllables to the next comma or period.

Great work.

Wow, this comment, is almost art, I definitely love it!

You have your work cut out for you.
