#WritersCoffeeClub Oxford Comma or no?
I love the Oxford Comma. Makes total sense the Haunted Pencil Jacob Reece-Mogg banned his staff from using it. The Tories like confusing language and the Oxford Comma adds much needed clarity.
One example which REALLY needed an Oxford Comma.
“…Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector."
Grammar is powerful because it changes the meaning of the words.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
