Who cares about the Oxford comma? That’s a $10 million question.
Source: Take That, AP Style! Court of Law Rules The Oxford Comma Necessary
Evidently, those of us who are grammar snobs, or the grammar police, as some might say, are right after all! This is good news for editors and writers everywhere who insisted that the Oxford comma was needed.
Now, if we can just get Microsoft on board with this for Word and other Office 365 products, that would be great. Office 365 continually tries to point out that my Oxford commas are grammatical mistakes when I know they are not.
