[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why you should always use the Oxford comma, ripped from today’s headlines lol: U.N. court ICC issues arrest warrants for Israel's Netanyahu, former defense chief and a Hamas leader https://www.cbsnews.com/news/icc-arrest-warrants-israel-benjamin-netanyahu-yoav-gallant-hamas-mohammed-deif/[/quote] !!!!![/quote] In that example, the Oxford comma is necessary for clarity. If I write “Please buy eggs, milk and strawberries” the Oxford comma is not necessary to understand me. [/quote] It isn't necessary in that example because there's not a plausible other meaning -- but if you'd put it in, the reader would not have had to take a microsecond to think about whether there was another possible meaning. Using it would have been an improvement. [/quote]
