quoteskine: Vampire Weekend FYI - Yes I do know what an Oxford comma is, I like them, and I embrace irony. This bothers me so much because this is not in any way what an Oxford comma is.  An Oxford comma is what separates the last two items in a list.  For example:  I went to the store to buy milk, sugar, and eggs.  The comma before “and” is an Oxford comma and you often see it left out, by those who simply don’t give a fuck about them. Ending rant….. now.
