I hate that I was taught that the oxford comma was wrong by those mind-butchers who called themselves my elementary school teachers and I thank God every day that I broke out of their thought prison and use all the commas I want

I wondered about this for a second or two.  If a shark could attack a swimming kangaroo, and camels can swim, well, the world is a pretty big place, chances are decent a shark has attacked a camel.

I think they once found horse bones in a tiger shark stomach or something so I guarantee at least one shark knows camels exist. All the other sharks probably don't believe him though. Like it's the shark equivalent of the Chupacabra....only they ate it.

I still remember her sentence: "Six, small, brown puppies were found in a dumpster Monday morning." She insisted that because "six" was an adjective, it was part of the list.

Oxford comma sometimes makes sentences nonsensical. Example: Without: I sometimes enjoy eating pizza, burgers and hotdogs With: I sometimes enjoy eating pizza, burgers, and the Oxford comma

If so, your six friends have questionable friends and also you are either Eric Trump or Mitch McConnell's press secretary. Or Bill Burr? They are very different people.

At least, that's how it worked in 2015, which was the last time I used that hellsite.

I don't know why we should honor the pretentious college and its pretentious town on the name of this very useful usage of a comma. I will die before I call it an 'oxford' comma. It is the people's comma. Suck my balls, Oxford.
