The Oxford comma isn’t a grammar rule. 📜
It’s a personality test. ✍️
I’m not missing a comma. 🎯
I’m modulating flavor. ✨
No stutters. Just style. 🚀

From a random Facebook page’s post that got shoved into my feed, an excellent candidate for a sentence really needing an Oxford comma. At least, I assume so; if not, I want to see this film.

Funderar på om den svenska översättningen i Cyber Resilience Act har tappat en viktig nyans när engelskan definierar open source som "software the source code of which is openly shared and which is made available under a free and open-source licence which provides for all rights to make it freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable" vilket har översatts till "programvara vars källkod delas öppet och som tillhandahålls inom ramen för en licens med fri och öppen källkod som ger alla rättigheter att göra den fritt tillgänglig att användas, modifieras och vidaredistribuera". Det jag stör mig på är missen av Oxford-kommat i sista uppräkningen. En bättre avslutning vore enligt mig "fritt tillgänglig, fri att användas, modifieras och vidaredistribuera" För visst blir det en betydelseskillnad?

I brought my 8 year old with me to the local independent/family-run hardware store and it seems he noticed their new touch screen search display before I did.

Yes, we'll have to talk with him about his spelling and punctuation.

I have been so fixated on the Oxford comma lately. I'm starting to judge my colleagues by their usage or lack thereof, but not quite sure how. I used to be an Oxford comma gal, then it was deemed unnecessary. I refused to switch, until one day I did and now I should be using it again?
