    Who cares about an Oxford comma? @MaryNorrisTNY does, and she explains its importance: http://nyer.cm/ocusit7 http://snpy.tv/1Srodg8 

    The Serial Comma Killer
    The serial comma, also known as the Oxford comma, is the one before "and" in a series of three or more.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY Can you consider doing a piece on proper use of the apostrophe? Would be a delightful public service!

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY In spanish it's considered a gramatical error. But, regardless from that, we use it to avoid ambiguity.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY It's Oxford's second best meme, behind the dictionary and before the shoe. The shirt is also-ran.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY serial commas are dark, deep, and smell of musty, dank, woods.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY The Oxford comma is a punctuation hurdle for the reader. And it can take a running jump.

        @NewYorker @TheRyanAdams @MaryNorrisTNY In German there's no comma before 'and'. Makes no sense to put one.
