Don’t ditch the Oxford comma Christine!

While even Oxford University has stopped using the Oxford comma, you shouldn’t stop (nor wil I!) As someone who writes in the tech industry, it is useful for clarity and specificity. I suspect Steve would say the same for his industrial clients too.

And in an era where we need to be as explicit and specific as possible, and an era where online writing is getting shorter and taking more shortcuts, this is one I’m not willing to compromise on. I may use online abbreviations, shortcuts, etc., the Oxford (or serial) comma is one that won’t be leaving my writing ever.
