Clarity over everything. Use or don’t use depending on context. To completely dispense with it is foolish. To worship it is cringeworthy.
Personally I don’t get the hype. The Bronx comma is far more approachable and easier to execute.
Another one that drives me up the wall is “[Name] hates writing about him/herself in third person.” Realistic guess is 5% of books have that in the bio.
Also, “knew i wanted to do this job since i was a little kid, when [insert irrelevant event]”. What a miserable childhood.
AND PEOPLE WRITING IN ALL CAPS.
Actually there have been quite a few court cases where the verdict hinged on the use of the Oxford comma.
Literally every second portfolio I look at.
@CW 1 SHOTS FIRED.
NYTimes follows AP style. /argument

This is also rampant in Tinder/Bumble profiles for some reason.
Nobody cares. Seriously. Not a single person who is not a copywriter gives a shit about ,
The lack of an Oxford comma cost some company millions of dollars in a trucking dispute, so I use it to save money
I guess it's less the actual linguistic argument and more the "LOOK HOW UNIQUE I AM IN MY OPINIONS" thing. 🤦♂️
*INDICATIVE. THUMBS ARE HARD!
I still use it. Either because I'm an asshole or because of habit. Screw it, it's the proofreader's problem.
Oxford comma use < proper use of semi colon
GUYS, IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSEDLY INDOCATIVE OF PERSONALITY. SHOVE OFF, BBDO 1. I'LL YELL IF I WANT TO!
Lol. Sooooooo, I've just been informed the little 'third person' quip in my folio bio is about as fresh as a week-old California sushi roll. #awks
UNIQUE, QUIRKY AND FOOLISH*** OPINION TO EXPRESS AS A COPYWRITER.
This is my favorite Fishbowl post ever. Fuck the Oxford comma forever.
