The continuing debate over the Oxford comma
If you don’t know what the Oxford comma is, why it’s called that, and why it’s controversial, this short news item explains all. If you already know what I’m talking about, you probably have an opinion on the subject.
If you want to know my view on the Oxford comma, check out my advice on punctuation – look at Note 4 under the sub-heading ‘How to use the comma’.
It’s not the kind of issue that will decide the EU referendum in the UK or the presidential election in the US, but it does excite teachers, educationalists, linguists and others [note that I didn’t use the Oxford comma there].
