Why should or shouldn't we always use it?

The french don't use it, so it should be used without exception tbqh

You know that's not an oxford comma, right?

I am an advocate for the Oxford comma. It often reduces ambiguity.

That isn't the Oxford comma. The Oxford comma is the last comma used in lists of words, verbs and nouns.

A conjunction is never a substitute for proper punctuation.

>>57363163
why is that remotely useful? unless the list contains 2 or more "and" sentences it's hardly needed?
