Quiet, you. Commas save lives. Show some respect for the punctuation.
I see what you did there...
I've always used commas this way.
I still use it, didn't know there was a specific name for its use.
And a slightly racier version in a hider because trigger happy mods make me sad in the pants and I'm only 2 infraction points away from a permaban.
Sentences just looked fuck up to me when people are listing multiple things and the final two lack a comma to separate them, just like those images.
It's to do with how you are taught it in school. My class didn't learn about it, but I used it as I used to read a lot, so I was aware it exists.
For anyone who hasn't heard a Somerset accent, please listen to this if my character is stated to orginate from there.
I remember when I had a teacher who said the Oxford comma was outdated and incorrect.
Almost failed that class because of my stubbornness.

Your teacher would count you off if you used it? I would've said "BULLSHIT" to their face and shown them proof.
Wait, people actually say the Oxford comma is outdated and incorrect? Fuck that! The Oxford comma (and the appositive) are the only commas I can use correctly!
In Flanders fields the poppies blow;
Between the crosses, row on row;
That mark our place; and in the sky;
The larks, still bravely singing, fly;
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
I know, right? The Oxford comma is the best comma.
