mom2scouts Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Did anyone see the news story about the Twitter comments because the Oxford comma is missing from the Brexit commemorative coin? It says "Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations." People are tweeting things like it "should be boycotted by all literate people". 😂 I'm personally a fan of the Oxford comma, but it's kind of funny that people are making such a big deal about it. 1 2 Quote
Laura Corin Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Many Brits of my generation were specifically taught to avoid it apart from in very specific circumstances, so I would not have used one either. It's not necessarily an error. 2 Quote
Tanaqui Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I'm madly in love with the serial comma, but I respect that there's only so much space on a coin. 1 Quote
