Lack of the Oxford comma.

(Admittedly, if I weren't on anon, I'd swear that not using the Oxford comma is actually wrong.)

Prescriptivist wannabes.

DA

Lies! The answer is what makes sense!

It took me a minute to figure out why AYRT couldn't explain while anon, but then I remembered this image: http://weknowawesome.com/2011/09/30/the-oxford-comma-strippers-jfk-and-stalin/

Now you see, the reason why I can't take Oxford comma fundy-mentalists seriously is because they keep inventing examples that would be wrong under a comma-optional style. "I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin" would require actually reading the sentence, and either adding a comma or changing the order of the list to reduce any ambiguity.

And for the sake of complete disclosure, the house style where I work is comma-mandatory. But, I have just enough sanity to recognize it as a stylistic convention, along with avoidance of double-negatives and passive speech.

SA (OP? idek - I'm the Oxford comma anon)

I do agree with you on the whole rtfm bit, but regardless, I like how Oxford commas look. When a sentence doesn't have one, I get the damn willies. Very rarely does the lack actually interfere with the sense of the sentence, tbh. Sure, I can recognize that they aren't strictly necessary and that rules are flexible, etc., it's just that Oxford commas are just so damn pretty :-)

Ha, until very recently -- like, inside the last couple years recently -- I thought lack of the Oxford comma was wrong. I swear I remember being taught that the final comma (didn't even have a name for it) was always the way to go.
