What does the AG community think about the oxford comma? for those of you who dont know about the oxford comma, it is the comma that comes right before a coordinating conjunction such as "and" or "or, usually in a list.
for example: i need bread, milk, and butter.
many intense grammar nazis argue that the oxford comma is unnecessary and shouldn't be used. so the previous sentence would become this:
i need bread, milk and butter.
even though the oxford comma is considered "grammatically correct".
I think we should keep it and everyone else should keep it as well because if some people don't, and others do, it could cause confusion. Plus, it sounds better.
In general, I use the Oxford comma. I'm used to it, so it feels natural to me, but I suppose since it isn't really enforced in school anymore, it's up to personal preference whether one uses it or not.
