I was taught to always avoid the Oxford comma by Mrs Nelson, my year 4 primary school teacher and a formidable dominatrix.
But seriously, I love the Oxford Comma. So I made a starter pack of other serial comma aficionados. And I'll keep adding to it as I find more members of Team Oxford Comma . . .

Bailey's alternative.
Bailey's is owned by Diageo. This is the company that just shuttered the Ontario Crown Royal bottling plant in order to move production to the USA.
Corby is partly owned by Pernod Ricard, but this is made in Cowansville, Quebec by Ungava Spirits Co. (bought by Corby in 2016.)

It's always so embarrassing to me when people of Irish heritage are racists. Did your elders not school you on the things they conveniently left out of history at school?
A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto news channels to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist

That Mark Ogden fella thinks that because there doesn't seem to be a clear challenger to Arsenal in the title race, the league is somehow shit.
The fact is that the league hasn't been this competitive EVER! What a bitter div!

Wonder if it still happens if he isn’t pushed out at Arsenal and able to leave on his own terms.
