Badly Written, Badly Spoken / Re the use of the Oxford comma
« on: April 24, 2013, 11:42:54 AM »
I saw this post of Facebook, "Why I use the "Oxford comma"... and why you should, too:
"Example of a sentence with the Oxford comma: 'For Mawe's birthday party, they invited two sexy dancers, Lorie, and Mia.'
"Example of a sentence without the Oxford comma: 'For Mawe's birthday party, they invited two sexy dancers, Lorie and Mia.'"
Kindly enlighten me if what was stated above is true and what, indeed is the Oxford comma.
