Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know ~~Just Made A Great Point~~ uses the comma the way you think it should be used
My actual reaction. I'm still gonna use it, but blegh.
I mean at the end of the day, Who Gives a Fuck About an Oxford Comma?
me, myself, and I
thank God you didn't confuse us by thinking you were referring to yourself twice at the same time separately instead of twice, twice.
Me.
Honestly same. Let’s hope he thinks the Oxford Comma is a neat martini dusted in Vicodin.
I do find issue with your capitalization, with Trump I find fault with his capitalization. Slight difference
I've seen those English dramas too
Vampire Weekend does! This is some deep nostalgia for me that you've just dug up.
Hitler introduced better protection for animals. I'm not going to say I like him, but I'm with him on this one.
He also gave up his inheritance to his single mother sister. Overall his bad dominated his good and he deserved a humiliating death like Mussolini or Gaddafi, but there was some good there.
Though it's interesting that Trump's "good" is a grammar preference. Trump isn't more bad than Hitler but he might be less good.
That last sentence... I haven't thought about that, but you might be right.
Just because the man is capable of one good decision in his life, doesn't mean he should run the country. Just sayin'.
"A broken clock..."
Can we convince people to use the Oxford comma, if we spread that it's anti-woke?
... you mean, convince people not to use it?
I think the implication is that people who are anti-woke are stupid so those are the ones you have to convince to use the Oxford comma since intelligent people already see the benefit.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Sometimes even a calculator can be a clock!
What time is it?
8008135
Real ones know it's 5318008
It's always 8008135 o'clock somewhere.
The strippers, JFK, and Stalin agree with Trump on this one.
Great thanks I hate it. No more commas for me ever just to be sure.
There had to be something we’d have in common. Now that I know he’s an Oxford comma man, he’s got my vote!
I use it the Oxford comma the truly correct way.
Situationally.
I use it geographically.
You know what they say. When in Oxford...
Can you describe a situation where an Oxford comma would be detrimental to a sentence?
When it changes the meaning.
I went to dinner with two idiots, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Vs
I went to dinner with two idiots, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden.
If you intend for the reader to think you went to dinner with two people, treating the Oxford comma as mandatory is going to add ambiguity at best and change the meaning at worst.
Mostly in script. Specifically with adjectives.
"I found myself surrounded by giant trees, massive ferns and strange mushrooms."
If this line were to be spoken aloud, the last two subjects would not have a pause between them. It's a picky me thing, to be honest. I'm extremely obsessive about grammar.
It sounds wrong without the comma
Trump is a dumb slob who can't read or write on his own.
I'm sure Hitler enjoyed breathing air too but that doesn't mean it's wrong or that I'm going to stop
Never thought I'd agree with Trump on something.
Just because he does, doesn’t mean you can’t, Kate.
Bastard has me wanting to exclude the comma before the "and" in lists, now.
Hes an ox, yes, but not nearly as useful
What is Trump's stance on gif/jif?
The Oxford comma is still the superior way.
