The comma in the Oxford.

The comma in the Oxford.

I saw the comma, but don't understand, does the comma make it funny somehow?

 

[Eddie & Elvis]

Putting a comma after the and in a list is called and Oxford comma

 

[Siikibam]

I didn’t know that’s what it’s called, but it shouldn’t be there in any case.

Technically it's correct.

I'm not sure I like it either... I was taught that you shouldn't put a comma there but it seems you're technically supposed to

I looked it up and it seems in American English you can use that comma. But I think British English it’s not meant to be there. I taught this recently and the latter is how I did it.

That would make sense but a while ago I saw an article about a British author trying to get people to boycott one of those special coin designs because it didn't use the Oxford comma

Oooopsss.. I missed my post above..haha..

Anyway, Oxford comma is used to avoid confusion in some sentences. I was taught American English having been from the Philippines. This is one thing that some students get confused of in school.
