She means commas are your fucking friends and you should start using them. She meant every sentence she struggles through that you wrote is a run-on and it makes her drink heavily and contemplate suicide. She doesn't know who told you that commas cost money to use, but she wishes they'd get cancer and die, along with the bastard teacher who convinced you that "lead" is the past tense of the verb, rather than "led." That's how I explain it to my students, anyway.

she means that your sentences have a lot of references to farting, anal sex, and shit in them
