Keep the comma, add something else to the list, or trash it altogether? OR I could think about it some, get another beer and relax.
That second comma in the first sentence is called an Oxford comma. Hey, I’m with you — never heard of it until today. But for years the necessity of that comma — the final comma in a list — has been debated not only by grammarians, but by the geniuses in Marketing. See, they want that last comma tossed out — to make their crap easier to read by the Great Unwashed and Unedjumacated.
But, lo! Today this article appeared, and I suggest you read it for your entertainment, enlightenment and, um, edjumacation.
Why wouldn't you listen to this? Or maybe buy this??

Thanks for posting this. I'd be much more smarter, except, I use English as my second language.
