Definition
The use of many commas or short divisions in writing; excessive comma usage; a style emphasizing short, divided phrases.
Etymology
From 'comma' plus the suffix '-tism' (a practice or condition). This term likely originates in stylistic or rhetorical criticism of writing patterns.
Kelly Says
Medieval writers were notorious for commatism—they'd divide their sentences into tiny pieces with endless commas and semicolons, making their prose look like someone gasped between every phrase.
