Default what is comma deliniated

Might look like this:

Name,Address,City
Anne Troy,34 South 3rd Street,Quakertown
M. Trend,123 Happy Street,Philadelphia
Mickey Mouse,16 Pluto Lane,Orlando

But, when you open a CSV (which defaults to Excel as the application of
choice on most machines that HAVE Excel), each comma tells it where a new
"column" begins. So this would create a 3-column Excel file, with data in
columns A, B, and C.

Can someone please explain, in laymen's terms, what comma deliniated is?
