Friday Funnies: Why I Still Use the Oxford Comma

[ariestess]

So this week, your Friday Funny deals with one of my personal pet peeve topics: the Oxford Comma.

Yup! I always use it -- always!

It's one of the easiest ways to get my dander up, to be honest.

You're welcome. Hope it helps.

Never use it, was taught it was wrong to put a comma after and in a list! To me the second sentence makes perfect sense while the first sentence has a totally superfluous comma in it. :-) I tend to order my words to ensure that I would never need a comma after and in a list.. it's just the way I was taught. I think Brit English makes far less use of the Oxford comma than American English.
