Do I put a comma after "yet"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It depends upon the context.

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

My sentence is: There are numerous "real" world issues in the world. Yet all we hear about is celebreties

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

Should it be Yet, all we hear about is celebrities.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Typically, no you wouldn't put the comma there, following the "yet." Informally, however, you can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can use the comma as personal choice, it all eally depends upon the effect your striving for.

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

Ah okay, I think I won't. Originally I didn't, but my peer editor in class suggested it in class so I doubted myself. Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
