I like their parents example there, I'm going to use that. I remember explicitly being taught not to use an oxford comma in school, clearly. However as an adult I always use one now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emba Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My little Oxford comma geek heart rejoices. I am also cheering for the truckers, because DH and my dad drive trucks, and other family members have as well from time to time, and it is a profession that is not respected for intelligence or good grammar, but yay, the truckers had intelligence and good grammar enough to pick up on this ambiguity. :hurray: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
