I am shocked, appalled, and devastated.

In a series/list, you do not need a comma before the last item in the list where you say 'and'?

people are accusing me of using AI because i use the semi-colon

I use the Oxford comma. I don’t understand why it isn’t the standard because it gives you more ways to express yourself.
>>219812714
People think I’m AI because I use the em dash.

I used to be pro-Oxford comma, but I changed my mind. I think I overuse commas, so I think I should cut them out where I can in my sentences.

>>219812599
We have to put Oxford comma in a coma so it doesn't die!

I enjoyed this pun or play on words.

it helps to clear up any ambiguity.
>I like my cats, Mario and Taylor Swift.
Do you like your cats who are named Mario and Taylor Swift?
Or do you like your cats, Mario, and Taylor Swift?
The comma removes the ambiguity.

Comma removers are complete retards to be honest with you senpai. If you condone not using an oxford comma you are basically esl to me.

the oxford comma will never die

Just give your cats normal names
Also pretty much nobody talks like this, nobody enumerates the things they like even at first dates (I assume since I've never been on one)
>>
>>219812684
Yes you do.
>he needs carrots, rhubarb and strawberries
Does he need the rhubarb and strawberries combined or alone? The coma lets you know

if you have some cats they're more than one, hence the name can't be "Mario and Taylor Swift"
