Help me do the comma

I suck at grammar, sadly. I'm pretty much as far away from being educated in grammar as possible. I got a 65% average in high-school by stealing peoples binders and photocopying that semesters work. I don't know how I passed English. Anywho.. how do commas work properly? I just throw them between things sometimes.. other times I just ramble and try not to do one of them run-on sentences.
Do you know how to spot a moron? They use the word "evolutionist"... lol

As a rule of thumb, it's when you would pause if you were speaking.

I consider my English grammar to be relatively good, but commas are my big weakness. I put them such that the text subjectively has a nice flow to it and, more importantly, that logically distinct parts are separated and there are no ambiguities in meaning. And then I pray that what I have done is close to correct.
