@blooper-boy replied to your post “if ur still doing the writing meme (i've liked all...”:
I had no idea people were so argumentative about the Oxford comma. Also just, the arguments seem dumb? Its all punctuation. As long as its making your idea clear, then it doesn't matter how you punctuate.
Yeah it's frankly a pretty silly hill to die on, given it literally doesn't matter unless you're at university or work at a journalism / news place etc. or your publisher has a fixed style guide (in which case, that's why they have editors lol).
The rules change all over the world, but most of the time it's not mandated and there's no official consensus anywhere. It's one of those 'pick the one you like and stick with it' scenarios. But oof an Oxford Comma discussion when you're against using them in your own work will show some people's true colours, as will a 'do you dog ear your book pages' re: how judgemental other folks can be on how people do things that are literally none of their business. :D
