Redemption for the Oxford Comma

Some people use it. Some people don’t. If you’re a Vampire Weekend fan, you know the hostility some people feel toward it.

I myself am an Oxford Comma convert, have been for about seven years. And while I know a lot of people don’t agree with my stance on the subject, I think this infographic from OnlineSchools.com does a good job of explaining why there are at least some cases where it is a necessity. It also says that you should be consistent in your use or non-use. So technically, if you believe both of those things, then it’s safe to say that the Oxford Comma should be used at all times. Vindication, at last!
