  Literally Esoteric posted:Hey, I don't deny that our language is imperfect regardless, but your comments here are more about your own interpretation based on context than the actual mechanics of language. Except not really, and you can, and often have to, use context to resolve ambiguity most of the time. If you completely ignore context a lot more sentences, with or without Oxford commas, become ambiguous. Even something as simple as "James, Kevin, and Bob," becomes ambiguous if you completely ignore the fact that these are people's names and a person can only have one name, so James cannot also be Kevin. A sentence with an Oxford comma can be ambiguous where a sentence without one wouldn't be. "I'm inviting James, my teacher and my mother," isn't ambiguous (unless you really stretch for it) where "I'm inviting James, my teacher, and my mother," gives two completely valid interpretations. I use it because it clears up ambiguity a lot more than it adds to it while also looking more natural. Re-ordering or using semicolons can clear up ambiguity a lot more reliably than adding or removing a single comma from the end of the list.

That's pretty neat. Edit: More obvious TIMG though. EGM's Toe Jam & Earl 2 review with a typo.  Good job editor/proofreader.

RedTeam posted:lmbo at someone with an acontextual theory of language. Not quite, but one of the purposes of language is to be able to communicate a consistent meaning regardless of the assumptions you bring with you. I'm not denying the value of context, but technical writing is one of the things that I do, so I value writing in such a way that anyone can understand regardless of their context. Is "lmbo" some sort of you drat kids' AOL speak?
