Plagarized Punctuation Guide #5

I give credit, though. This is from https://allthingsfreelancewriting.com/blog/punctuation-guide/

The article is just too good not to share. More next time and the previous four times.

Oxford commas get a lot of attention. For the unacquainted, it’s the final comma in a series.

Oxford comma example

• I’m going to the store, the gas station, and my friend’s house.

The Oxford comma would be the last comma after “station” and before “and.”

It’s typed as a normal comma and helps to clarify that the final list item is part of the list and independent from other list items.

It has gotten attention because some publications prefer to omit the Oxford comma. Many writers feel strongly about whether or not the Oxford comma should be present or not.
