  3. I had to look up "Oxford Comma" to find out what the hell you were talking about.

  6. No one at my work uses them. At first I thought they were all grammatically retarded until I found out it is optional. NO IT'S NOT!

    I hate, despise, and loathe grammatical errors.
    Hmph.

  8. "There is no global consensus among writers or editors on the use of the serial comma.[4] Most authorities on American English recommend its use, but it is not so frequently used in British English"

    -Wiki

    So do you consider yourself "American" or
    British"? Personally, I like to spell 'colour' with a 'u'.
