A light-hearted lesson on the Oxford comma
Today is filled with tasks related to my day job — AGAIN. So I’m sharing a quick (and dirty) punctuation lesson in honor of my friend, Charles White. Chas and I are both nerdy enough to be fans of the Oxford comma. The illustration is a slightly edited version of the original by Jeff Bishop. (I’m trying to keep this blog PG rated.)
Here’s another illustration.
Enjoy!
This truly mad me laugh out loud. Perfect!
Glad to spread some fun!
Too bad ALL the other European languages have no Oxford (comma). Not one. As a translation editor, I find it shocking how many translators mutely obey Russian or Romanian comma rules while trying to produce American English!
