[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would never occur to me to think Oxford/serial comma = parent edited it; in fact, if anything I think the Oxford comma is coming back into fashion and that people our age use it less. Count me as another editor who is pro-serial comma. [b]It never hurts to use it and sometimes is important for clarity.[/b] Why bother to determine case by case when you could just use it all the time and not worry? But I also agree that it doesn’t matter at all in terms of admissions. Pick an approach and go with it. The most important thing is clarity and consistency.[/quote] "For teaching me about the Oxford comma, I owe a debt of gratitude to my father, Jeff Steele, and several anonymous DCUM posters."[/quote]
