Starman Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 as a journalist, I discourage the usage of the oxford comma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Seriously though, in some cases the Oxford comma may remove ambiguity. I suggest using it in those cases. However, there are also cases where it may add ambiguity. I suggest not using it in those cases. But in most cases using it or not doesn't really make anything anything more or less ambiguous.

Julius Nepos Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It's okay, Lux. The time will come again. Now the Great King of Hatti rests. Tomorrow he will march again.
