Peter G. Epps I was actually taught *both* ways by excellent teachers--the AP-leaning sparse punctuation, and the Chicago-influenced style. But MLA requires the Oxford comma, so I adopted it finally, never to turn back. I find it hard to get passionate about typography, though.
Susan So is there a group against people who use apostrophes to form plurals?
Elaine My 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Singleton, was the best ever and if she were still alive I'm certain she would join this group.
Sharon Burnston This has a name??!! Always using it, now I know what to call it. Thank you, children, friends, and FB.
Jonathan I always thought not using this was incorrect.
Leslie I'm a fan though I don't use it. It always looks ... extra to me. If Oxford likes it, I'm in, as they know all.
Elaine Lang People who don't use this comma are lazy, stingy, and generally not of my ilk.
Belinda McGhee now needs a group willing to take on the miscreants who misuse colons when introducing a list.
Sue Barnes Keep up the good fight! We will prevail, sooner or later.
Thomas Suarez I can't believe it -- after all these years of solitary struggle, I find out ... I AM NOT ALONE !!! THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE ME STILL WALKNG THE EARTH !!!
Cliff Oooh dear...I'm torn. Fowler says this is wrong.
Kevin Marsh Clarity, consistency, and elegance!
Matthew Christopher Mason I gather Vampire Weekend is NOT a fan...
Elisabeth Grunert I swear, the Twentieth Century messed up Literature, Art, and punctuation.
