I'm told that in the UK, it's known as the Harvard comma. This amuses me quite unreasonably much.

Not in my experience (native Brit).

No it's not, or at least not that I've ever heard.

No, we definite call it the Oxford comma. I thought the Harvard comma was the US translation.

I think you've misunderstood the illustration then.

But it makes more sense to put your comma between every two items in a series than to NOT put a comma between the last ones.
