Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.*

You know who doesn’t give a fuck anymore? The University of Oxford styleguide:

As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’.

Game changer.

*i’m not just a full-blown descriptivist, i’m also more like a subscriptivist (see how i did that! i can’t turn it off!)— however, this was one rule that meant something. this little rule was my linguistic compass, or, like my moral compass, that little voice in my head that i like to ignore all the time (i know i should do it the right way, but will i? nahhhhh blahh bleghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh).
