Default how to use Find/Replace to ADD a comma

I have a long list of words in 2 languages. I can highlight one set of
words and would like to automatically add a comma to that set.

Is there an automatic way to do this?

One problem is that I can't just use Find/replace to search out the
spaces and replace with commas because some of the words are 2 or even
3 words, ie. A. D., or A. S. A. P.

If I tried to just replace all the spaces with a tab or comma is would
separate the words into incorrect groups.

I CAN however highlight all of the English words. So is there a way to
ADD a comma to the selection of highlighted words?

Many thanks for you thoughts....

FWIW, there should not be any spaces in A.D. or A.S.A.P.
