cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (can he type?)

Dear Brother Windows,

When I said that I prefer the Oxford comma and that there is debate about whether it should be used or not, the "debate" thing was an indication that in fact, neither way is definitively correct or incorrect. Both usages coexist. They compete. So an appropriate response to "I would use it" is not "You'd be wrong"; the whole point is that neither way is actually wrong. Also, I'm pretty sure that no non-native speaker of English is going to correctly correct my punctuation, ever. It's certainly never happened before. I was affectionately known as Grammar Cop within the family when I was a wee one with reason.

Lovingly but admittedly somewhat snootily,
Cim
