Oh my god! That article is hilarious! I am now firmly on the side of sometimes using it and sometimes not. I also want to start using it ambiguously in order to claim random people as my mother. Although I will have to continue to deride it at work in order to oppose my co-worker who can't be permitted to run a muck with power.
Woo hoo! I'm thrilled that the article has convinced you to use the Oxford comma sometimes, even if it's just to stop you from claiming random people as your mother. Of course, I understand that your official stance will be to renounce it, especially if it means preventing that one co-worker for suffering from delusions of punctuation grandeur.
I mentioned your linkage at teatime today, by the way, and my workplace agreed that you were very clever and amusing.
Oh, my frickin' God! WHY? I'm not even thinking of myself here, but what your co-workers were forced to endure. Well, I'm happy and relieved that they found the entry amusing. If men in white coats show up at my apartment or the workplace, I'll know that someone didn't find it entertaining. *g*
Well, if one of them is dead I guess...wait! This is the dude that is constantly resurrected, isn't it?
Yuh huh! :-D
By that logic you could have countless copies!
Tee hee hee! I KNOW! Isn't it fabulous? :-D
Is that why Davies claims six billion? she asks suspiciously. I will have to go back and click the link, but the madness must stop here!
Uh, oh...Well, you might find it interesting, or you may end up backing out of the link seconds after you click on it. I have to confess that I watched the vid three times after digging it up for that comment. The "Master Race" always brings me such joy. :-)
