Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
You know who doesn’t give a fuck anymore? The University of Oxford styleguide:
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’.
Game changer.
I just…between that and the no more double space after a period….
Why does this have to evolve?
You will pull this comma from my cold, dead, and frozen hand.
*raises hand*
Me, right here. The kid with the English degree. I give a fuck about my oxford comma.
