As I see it, the most appealing arguments are: - The Oxford comma is syntactically consistent by having a comma between each item. - The Oxford comma is syntactically consistent with an “and” clause with only 2 items.
-
Other proposals with equally strong syntactical consistency arguments: “I like apples, oranges, and bananas,.” “I like, apples, oranges, and bananas.” “I like apples, oranges, bananas.”
