Stupid idea. ‘a, b and c’ implies that ‘b and c’ together constitute some combined set that is analagous to the set a. ‘a,b, and c’ denotes three seperate sets that are each analagous to the other two.
I sooo agree!!! Dropping the comma is stupid.
Good point. I find that makes for easier reading, since it’s obviously a list of similar elements.
Exactly! I always used a comma in that space. The dumbing down of the planet continues in earnest.
I’m with you.
I’ll continue using a serial comma regardless.
