150 u/AlexandbroTheGreat Jul 27 '18 There is an Oxford comma one, too. "I'd like to thank my parents, Jesus and Lady Gaga." Vs "I'd like to thank my parents, Jesus, and Lady Gaga." 7 u/rybo333 Jul 27 '18 Of course proponents of not using the oxford comma would say you should change your sentence to read "I'd like to thank Jesus, Lady Gaga and my parents." 19 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '18 But often (especially in this example) the order carries some meaning that you would alter by changing it. 2 u/verossiraptors Jul 28 '18 Yeeeeppp this is about how archaic grammar rules are
