You could do with an #OxfordComma there...

Every once in a while I visit this short video by Elle Cordova, to refresh my enjoyment of her erudite sense of humour. I watch it once; then I realise I need to watch it again; then again, and again, and so an hour passes with this short piece on permanent repeat, each repeat revealing another nuance in the battle of the punctuation marks. A flawless masterpiece.

En Dash speaks to Oxford Comma:
"_I signify every word and blank space in a page range, I am the infinite stairwell between integers, I am the bloody embrace between two countries at war, and on a gravestone I am the entire life lived between birth and death, who are you?_ "

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a technical writer in possession of a nascent styleguide, must eventually add an entry about the #oxfordcomma.

Funderar på om den svenska översättningen i Cyber Resilience Act har tappat en viktig nyans när engelskan definierar open source som "software the source code of which is openly shared and which is made available under a free and open-source licence which provides for all rights to make it freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable" vilket har översatts till "programvara vars källkod delas öppet och som tillhandahålls inom ramen för en licens med fri och öppen källkod som ger alla rättigheter att göra den fritt tillgänglig att användas, modifieras och vidaredistribuera". Det jag stör mig på är missen av Oxford-kommat i sista uppräkningen. En bättre avslutning vore enligt mig "fritt tillgänglig, fri att användas, modifieras och vidaredistribuera" För visst blir det en betydelseskillnad?

@joannaholman A visiting goat from Taiwan is pretty cool though! #oxfordcomma

I have been so fixated on the Oxford comma lately. I'm starting to judge my colleagues by their usage or lack thereof, but not quite sure how. I used to be an Oxford comma gal, then it was deemed unnecessary. I refused to switch, until one day I did and now I should be using it again?

#OxfordComma

I just signed a petition, and you might want to as well. But I think this sentence needs an #OxfordComma.

Sooner or later we have to come to terms with the fact that the internet has radicalized a whole generation of people who would otherwise not hold extreme views about the Oxford comma
