      Apparently, punctuation is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to good writing and publishing. As grammar Nazi, I didn't know this. #Acwripic.twitter.com/A9uFLgKgF7

      Sure. But there are still cases where the Oxford comma can CAUSE confusion too.

          I do not see how removing the comma makes this sentence less ambiguous, especially if one does not like the Oxford comma. @action_brain

          The comma is what makes the "bad person" be an aside that refers to the first item on the list. Without it it's a list.

          Good luck parsing English sentences. Natural language is hard. 🤣

          The sentence you provided can be interpreted as a list whether it has the comma or not. With 2 commas it is an Oxford comma list; with 1 comma it is a non-Oxford comma list. This is just a badly written sentence that needs to be restructured to avoid ambiguity.

          “My dad (a bad person) and I walked into bar”. If this sentence were spoken, prosody would provide the disambiguation. Regardless of the number of commas, this is an awkward, stumble-wumbly sentence. 😉

          I'm surprised you've never seen/thought of it before if you're an Oxford comma aficionado. 🤣
