The structure of a sentence seems to be rather important in English, at least to me as a non native speaker. e.g.

I helped my uncle Jack off a horse.
I helped my uncle jack off a horse.

Is the first sentence in reference to a stallion? :P

Actually it's punctuation, not structure that's important. English is wildly forgiving of subject & object placement in a sentence as long as you punctuate correctly.

"I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse" is the correct form for your first sentence. Another for you:

The panda eats shoots and leaves.
The panda eats, shoots and leaves.

Don't feel bad about it. Vast hordes of my fellow native speakers make exactly the same mistakes.

For bonus points explain when to use 'who' versus 'whom', or use 'ironic' correctly in a sentence.

I find it ironic that you missed the point! er.. dot!

The correct form is actually "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse."
Then again, i'm not a native speaker and could be completely wrong. :-)
