Another Comma Lesson

rogersgeorge on December 4th, 2021

If you read this blog much, you have heard about the oxford comma (if not, look for it in the search box on the right), the comma before the conjunction in a list. I encourage you to use it. My rule is that without that comma you can sometimes be misunderstood; but with it, you will not be misunderstood.

The rule applies even if you don’t use the conjunction at the end. Maybe I should say especially if you don’t use the conjunction at the end. This list contains only two items, but you get the point.

So use the oxford comma!
