Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
You know who doesn’t give a fuck anymore? The University of Oxford styleguide:
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’.
This topic came up on a conference call today and I screamed, “VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Yes, I vocally used that many exclamation points.
I love the Oxford comma when used as follows: a, b, and groups of c. Not necessary with a, b and c. Also style guide: I still prefer two spaces between sentences. How do you unlearn that typing routine. The day Microsoft Word takes away the “check for two spaces after a period”option I’ll die.
