Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 05, 2020

Also called the Hahvahd commer.

Save your fingers:

a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before ‘and’ or ‘or’ (e.g. an Italian painter, sculptor, and architect ).</I

An Ox(ford)y-moron comma. Not to be confused with an Oxford Coma.

Got to admit, on this one I prefer AP style.

I was hoping the final comment would illustrate the oxford comma…He didn’t go to Oxford, fake British accent, and, He has never been outside of USA.

Deformed sperm from Chernobyl?

Using an Oxford comma can save you millions of dollars https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/02/08/oxford-comma-lawsuit/320944002/

Comma, comma, comma chameleon. You come and go, you come and go.

Loved the apostrophe comment.

Grammatical humor is always hilarious.

And the British do NOT use the Oxford comma. making some of their sentences read weird and having to be read more than once – to figure out who is grouped with whom.

I know the Brits invented the language but the Oxford comma is just plain ridiculous….. same for all those silly U’s they add to words….. look this word up in your Oxford dictionary: REDUNDANT.

Also known as the comma that cost $20,000,000.

Yeah, he’s a big mouth.

Kids write the darndest things “I’m very thankful for my parents turkey and stuffing.”

I find that offensive, inane, and dumb.

Oh, put a shoe on it!

Could have worked one it. I though it was a joke about how they use “single quotation marks” for quotations in the UK rather than “double quotation marks” as in the USA. (Worse, they call them inverted commas.)
