Grammatical nonsense: Lack of Oxford comma eliminates clarity, precision, happiness

Perhaps sometimes an American might think that the British way makes sense or a British person might like the American way better, but usually, there is little overlap. However, one rule that both Americans and the British argue about is the serial comma, otherwise known as the Oxford comma.
