No. I mean I seem to remember being in school and them telling us it wasn't seen as proper grammar anymore.

But it's numbers! Do numbers count grammatically? I always uses commas for big numbers.
Oh I don't know. I've looked it up online about the correct way to write numbers and it's with a comma so I shall continue to use commas.
Too f**king right.
Had a great time at my friends' concert last night. It was a typical rock dive, but they had a great beer list and refuse to carry Budweiser, Coors, etc. I was drinking Guinness and Old Peculiar most of the evening.
Getting ready for the 475-mile drive back home, but there's a light dusting of new snow and if the roads are as icy as the front porch I could be in trouble. I've never driven in ice or snow and I'd rather not start at my advanced age.
My car a few minutes ago:
475 miles??? Woah! That's a long way!
Take it steady DaButt!

It's a pleasant 7-hour drive -- my state is 800 miles across. I've driven from coast to coast a few times: 4 days and almost 3000 miles.

7 Hours!!! Are you going Backwards 
It's nice because it's all open Interstate (I-35 goes from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to (near) the Canadian border) and there are only 2 real cities along the way to slow traffic. It's 75 MPH most of the way.

You must take a break? Or 2?

On the drive home? Not really, but I have to stop for gas and a fast food meal somewhere along the way. It's hard to walk after sitting down for 5 hours.
That's mad. How do you stay alert and awake?
Longest I've driven was 4 hours up the East Coast of Aus.
Well I've got nearly a 25 minute train journey to Streatham. That can be pretty hairy, I mean, it could be cancelled or anything.
It takes me 1 hour and half to get to nearest City! lol you city folk and you public transport.
