from the Fake AP Style Book

Replace the Oxford comma with the Yale comma. It's not as prestigious but still gets the job done.

Ha! Take that, former betas, oxford comma hatorz, and other group unspecified but used in order to be able to use Oxford comma here.

hee.

LMAO! I am a big fan of the Oxford comma. And to top it all off, I work at a newspaper where said comma is the devil.

Editors.

Yes, people can be oddly intense about it. AWFULLY.

That's the one before "and" in lists, isn't it? As a German I am all for letting go of that one. One less punctuation mistake I will make, as we never do that.

Yep!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm waaaay over the line in punctuation mistakes!

You know, between the Fake AP Stylebook, and The Onion, I nearly fall for something satiric EVERY DAY.
