Do you employ the Oxford comma? Please comment and let me know!
"The 'Oxford' or 'serial' is the optional comma placed before the 'and' at the end of a list - named after the Oxford University Press house-style. It is especially useful for lists which might otherwise be ambiguous: e.g., 'My favourite shirts are from New and Lingwood, Hackett, and Turnbull and Asser'. Without the second comma it might appear that an elaborate Jermyn Street revolution had occured with Asser forced out on his own after Turnbull had joined forces with Hackett."
