Grammar
In the doghouse (grammar question)
I have a grammar question that has my friend and I in a bind.
This is the sentence:
Please do your own dishes in order that my ex-wife Clara can remain free of stress.
My friend insists that a comma is necessary between "ex-wife" and "Clara." I say the sentence is fine the way it is written. To clarify, Clara is not the only Clara I know, but she is my only ex-wife.
What do you think?
