The Oxford comma

Post by AJOwens »

I see that when I started the lyric thread for "Pestilence, Carcass and Death at Skoochies," I put in a comma after "Carcass." Sorry, that was reflex typing; I didn't even know I was doing it. Feel free to correct it.

I am a big fan of the Oxford comma when it helps clarify things, but that title isn't a cry for help. The most helpful time is when one or more of the items on the list is actually a pair, like "drums and percussion".

I will play guitars, sing like a banshee, write about dolphin sex, play drums and percussion, and friend flood in order to win songfight.

In other words, anything but submit a song before the deadline. ZING
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.
