Does putting the comma after the parenthesis eliminate the need to put it after the name as well?

Jimmy -- who is currently out of a job -- nefs on AT all of the time.

hahaha

You're funny, Mill.

err...

You are saying that isn't correct?

Dashes can be used in pairs like parentheses?that is, to enclose a word, or a phrase, or a clause?or they can be used alone to detach one end of a sentence from the main body. Dashes are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex or in one that has a number of commas within it.

Nah, it just seems awkward to read; common grammatical mistakes include awkward sentence structure and readability.

That's because I didn't use the proper form of dash, but instead used two hyphens. If I used the em dash "?" it would have looked correct.

Jimmy ? who is currently out of a job ? nefs on AT all day. It does like slightly awkward because of the short sentence. I'd prefer: Jimmy, who is out of a job, nefs on AT all day. Must of the people said that, but I've gotten to be quite the whore for em dashes as of late.
