I'm sure you've seen this, but it amuses me - so I thought I'd share it with you 😄

Well-said, SpaceHobo! The #SerialComma (my preferred term: accurate description + doesn't sound elitist) simply provides clarity. #SerialComma4ever #CommaLivesMatter

I'm not qualified to be an alpha reader in folklore, but if you need an editor... I'm good! Plus I'm a native German speaker (not so great with writing) so I can go to source material to make sure things aren't list in translation). #OxfordCommaForever (though I prefer the term #SerialComma because it's more accurate and is decolonized)

I usually don't use the Oxford comma, but I do when it helps avoid ambiguity. To require the use of the Oxford comma is insensible, IMO.
