Asked by Millie
I'm trying to explain something to one of my friends, and unfortunately, I'm not too good at that. Can someone help me explain (in a not-confusing way) WHY you put the comma in this sentence?
[Millie, go get the papers off my desk.] or [What's wrong with you, you idiot?]
Thanks~!

Here's the webpage on comma uses:

Scroll down and read the explanation and examples just above #5 -- you're looking for "addressed person's name."
Here's another; see Rule 4:
