The Oxford Comma – Why and Why Not

I banned the Oxford comma in all writing within my individual business. In fact, I released an entire 100K+ word narrative game without using Oxford commas (I consider it a bug if I left any behind).

I use it religiously just for shits, and giggles.

The Oxford Comma is not used with just two items. This is just improper grammar.

I mean you do you but don't call this the Oxford Comma.

You could make it a compile error like Zig (previously) did with tabs!
