    And all these years I thought it was the Pschearer comma. Next you’ll be telling me I’ve been writing prose all along.

    I write in the AP style so I typically do not use the Oxford comma. However, if it is necessary to resolve ambiguity, I will sometimes resort to its use.

    Oxford commas and Banbury cakes…an instructive day here at GoComics. And Oh MY, those cakes look good!

    I prefer loafer style commas…. I’m lazy myself, and it’s too hard to keep the laces tied on those Oxford ones.

    Anyway, if you only get so many commas in this life, why waste some of them before a conjunction?Save those for when you need a little break.
