Donβt ask me how or why β my brain burps out these things, unbidden β but I came up with another example of the importance of the Oxford comma:
βBurt was always happy to travel back to Newfoundland, where he would visit his parents, Dildo and Come By Chanceβ

π₯₯ You know I love you like a sister, Lydia, but saying that one doesn't always have to use the #OxfordComma is tantamount to saying we don't always have to suffer fools gladly.
Can you kindly provide me with an example of the sacred comma NOT being necessary? My world is currently askew.
PS: Thank YOU for giving me an opportunity to use "tantamount" in a sentence. π₯₯
π₯₯ I may not defend to the death your right to use proper #grammar and #spelling, but I will bore YOU to death with reminders to employ the #OxfordComma. π₯₯
#oxfordcomma #grammar #spelling
"oxford commas are unnecessary." no the "and" is unnecessary.
no oxford comma: this is neat, spiffy and cool
oxford comma: this is neat, spiffy, and cool
improved version: this is neat, spiffy, cool
make it clearer what is in the list: this is [neat, spiffy, cool]
allow commas in list items: this is ["neat", "spiffy, I think", "cool"]
There is good news, good news, good news, and good news.

A question for university folks.
If you go to #Cambridge, are you allowed to use the #OxfordComma?
I guess it's time for an #Introduction again.
I like #gamemastering #Pathfinder1e #TTRPG.
I like #FountainPens and looped #cursive. I have a few "entry-level" fountain pens.
I like #MiniaturePainting.
I like #writing fiction sometimes.
I like corded telephones. I own a red Cortelco Kellogg 2500 Desk Telephone.
I recently switched to #Linux (#LinuxMint) from Windows10.
I like #vampires, #werewolves, #fae (#fey), #SpookyStuff, and #Halloween.

Edited my intro yesterday because of the new people (hi!), but messed up and left it up for a whole day, published, while short of an #OxfordComma π₯π±
Just read about the #OxfordComma seems kind of seditious. I am sure that my grammar book recommended against it.
@ifixcoinops (Thread)
π₯₯ I thought your toot was asking, "Is it #Linux time?" Dan.
I'm neither a #Scotsman, a coin-op, nor someone who knows what a "furry plumber" is.
What I AM is an extremely shy 74-year-old who's experiencing mild cognitive issues, has a Linux question, wants to test the theory that the #Fediverse is all-knowing, and uses the #OxfordComma.
I'm attempting to backup a drive to a directory on a larger drive using either #dd, #rsync, or some better solution. π₯₯

Tickled to learn that the company's formal style guide mandates use of the #OxfordComma. Glee!
I didn't have a strong opinion until now. Please don't make Nelson Mandela into a dildo collector! π

The biggest #challenge, it seems to me, for those of us in the #beautiful #space that is the #fediverse is to break the shackles of centuries of #Sensual #privelege. I can toot a mediocre #photograph and get reboosted (I always use #alttext obviously). #Sight is the western worldβs premier #sense. But how do we #boost #sound? Not all of you will share my #musical #taste, of course. But I #love my #eyes, #ears, #fingers, #tongue, and #nose (as well as the #OxfordComma) equally.
