Yes, using comma in Russian you should be very careful, since it is as serious as Ramil said. But what about English? As I've been noticing, in many cases where in Russian I must use comma, in English it isn't compulsory. Could you please give me a link where this problem is considered?
Thank You.

Look at this photo I made today:

That is the same case as in «казнить нельзя помиловать». I first read this as «Внимание! Опасно! Машины у здания! Не ставить сосульки и снег!»
