I was editing something this morning and started wondering why anyone would be against the Oxford comma... It provides so much clarity! Anyone have a valid reason for not using it, other than "I just don't like it"?

I'm new to BlueSky, so here's my "introducing me"!
- Academic editor for 6 years (www.aracademicediting.wordpress.com) ✍️
- Constantly making a new craft 🧵
- Poet 📝
- Mother to 2 fat cats 🐈🐾
- Theatre kid 🎤🎼

That's basically it... It's weird when your life can be reduced to so few bullet points...

imagine hiring an editor and then getting mad at them when they edit

Fellow editors, do any of you add em dashes nowadays just for fun to get people thinking, "hmm, did AI do this?" #justicefortheemdash #editor
