Joe_F BS: the Oxford comma (40) RE: BS: the Oxford comma 23 Jun 17


Joe O.: In my limited experience, "Oxford comma" is the usual academic jargon, whereas "Harvard comma" is what journalists call it -- usually with a sneer. Journalists, up to (say) the 1960s, were seldom college graduates, and "Harvard" connoted rich snob queer.
