This Is Why One Should Just Accept the Oxford Comma

serialComma Usually, of course, grammar disputes just result in grumpy people getting their knickers in a twist over something unimportant, but from the Onion comes this story of the true tragedy that can result when these sorts of disagreements get out of hand.

So, clearly, everyone should just settle down and not get worked up over grammar. Except about the Oxford comma, of course – that’s important, as my parents, Ayn Rand and God will attest.

It’s actually posters like that that remind me how to use commas. I probably use them too often though. But you do know The Onion is a parody paper, right?

  But yes, everyone should come here for their comma usage advice.
