Literally Esoteric posted:It would make the sentence unambiguous, even if it would still be confusing. Yes, a serial comma would remove the ambiguity in that sentence. That's what that comma does. That's why it's used. "Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod, and a dildo collector," is still ambiguous. Is it talking about three people or only two people who are 1) Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and 2) a dildo collector?

Listen up assholes. Every time you don't use the Oxford comma it has to find work elsewhere as a grocer's apostrophe.

Now I strongly doubt this is the case here, but this would be correct in Dutch if I'm not mistaken.

I seriously get winded when I read those sentences sometimes. Somehow I subconsciously start a new breath every time there's a comma and end up deoxygenated.

1stGear posted:Death to all those who don't use the Oxford comma. I always use the Oxford comma because it looks more natural, but it is not a get-out-of-ambiguity-free card. You don't remove ambiguity from lists in written English until you use semicolons, which brings up the far worse problem of being that guy who actually uses semicolons. There are even cases where an Oxford comma can make an unambiguous sentence into an ambiguous one, or at least increase the ambiguity. Re-ordering the Times quotation as an example: "Nelson Mandela, a dildo collector and an 800-year-old deity," is less likely to be misinterpreted than "Nelson Mandela, a dildo collector, and an 800-year-old deity." Nelson Mandela is obviously not an 800-year-old-deity, but it's possible that you just didn't know he moonlighted as a dildo collector. e: Likewise "JFK, Stalin and the strippers," is unambiguous without using an Oxford comma.

I think I would use the comma there because "Stalin and the strippers" sounds like a goofy punk band.
