So hearts momentarily stopped last week during the Great Serial Comma Misunderstanding of 2011. Suffice it to say, the rules have not changed and are as contentious as ever. We all know the arguments for and against it, and we all know to be consistent one way or the other, I'm sure. But it bears asking... are you with serial commas or against them?
I wholly subscribe to the serial comma—also known as the Chicago comma, the Strunk and White comma, the Harvard comma, and the Oxford comma.
