You broke my heart, Oxford

The comma
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’. But when a comma would assist in the meaning of the sentence or helps to resolve ambiguity, it can be used – especially where one of the items in the list is already joined by ‘and’:

They had a choice between croissants, bacon and eggs, and muesli.

I just lost one of the major sources of my sense of smug superiority over IPU.

This simply cannot be. I will never give up the Oxford comma. Ever. One of us still thinks this relationship means something.

Why would you speak to me that way, especially when I always said that I have got the 88 Donruss Grace rookie?

I had that card in my locker during law school. Not sure how it ended up there.

Gracey is on fire lately, every category a true 5 tool player.

If it makes you feel better, wuapinmon, my writing professor insists on the use of the serial comma.

Nicely done.

Nicely done.

That was a second time joke, this time as a nod to Wuap. I made a similar crack once when he was talking about the Oxford comma, and he thought he had done something to offend me. ha.

I just sat down to write some annual assessment reports that I am now in charge of for work. The person who normally wrote them is no longer in charge of them and won't even see them, since they're now a VP of something or other. After 14 years, I finally get to use the Oxford Comma in them.
