If you purport to be a grammar nazi you must acknowledge the ellipsis period.

But he didn't use an ellipsis period. And I already raked Roxy over the coals for that very mistake.

Are you saying you *do* acknowledge the ellipsis period? If so we can move on.

Of course. It's obviously bull****.

I hated that even before I knew it was grammatically incorrect. It just looks wrong. You put commas after everything else, so why are you being lazy with the last one? It just makes you look lazy.

Maybe because it's not necessary and is actually overkill.

Screw the oxford comma.

I think that pic just showed you why it's necessary. Why don't you go leave some shoes out of their proper place in Footlocker?

I got the impression that you were against the Oxford Comma. Aren't you? Dammit, now I'm arguing, too
