I GET THIS ONE
Grnadpère and I both have hearing loss, so the caption misunderstandings resonate. We amuse, annoy, and frustrate each other another . Observers of our exchanges either laugh or shake their heads.
Thanks to Doug.

TRUE LOVE REVEALED
WARNING: At times, I get quite preachy about the Oxford comma. As I said on Facebook, I'm rather passionately attached to the little curleque. Some might even call it a love affair. A series without the final comma has a weird look of incompleteness about it that puts me off. My attention is caught by the missing comma, rather than the thought the writer expresses. That's to say nothing of the lack of clarity that can result from the missing mark.
Thanks to Ann for the wall post on Facebook from The Grammar Police.

THE USEFULNESS OF THE OXFORD COMMA
From Oxford Dictionaries:
What is the 'Oxford comma'?Rumors fly around and about on the demise of the Oxford comma, but it appears that the wee mark has life, yet.
The 'Oxford comma' is an optional comma before the word 'and' at the end of a list:
We sell books, videos, and magazines.It's known as the Oxford comma because it was traditionally used by printers, readers, and editors at Oxford University Press. Not all writers and publishers use it, but it can clarify the meaning of a sentence when the items in a list are not single words:
These items are available in black and white, red and yellow, and blue and green.The Oxford comma is also known as the 'serial comma'.
From Linda Holmes on NPR:
For now, the Oxford comma lives on at Oxford. And it lives on in my heart. Life is nasty, brutish, and short (or, to introduce unnecessary ambiguity, "life is nasty, brutish and short"), and the least I can do for myself is to hold tight to the linguistic niceties about which I, for whatever reason, care. It's comforting. It's calming. And when it comes to taking a firm position about mostly unimportant debates, that's about all I can hope for.The Oxford comma lives on in my heart, too, and I will continue to place the mark in a series. Even if the comma dies, I will flog the poor creature for my personal use, so long as I live.
