I'm kind of surprised that this is even a debate. As the cartoon demonstrates, the Oxford comma is both meaningful and necessary.

There is a nice thread in site support/suggestions for this that has been bumped many times that you could bump again...

I didn't even know commas had names or categories. Commas, they all look alike to me.

Agreed. I don't know why there's a debate about this either. The serial comma makes your meaning abundantly clear and just reads better.

The debate ended Sept 20th, 2011, with Radbird's cartoon and my declaration.

The only debate should be how large Heyzeus' pony signature should be for creating a three page discussion on this ludicrious argument.

Not Oxford comma related but I thought of this discussion and the importance of punctuation when I saw this headline.

Am I missing something? The way Richie has it linked is correct, isn't it?

It reads like the writer is saying "At last, singer Etta James dies." Like we've all been waiting for it to happen.

Would you like it larger? I'm pretty sure it could be larger.
