Cheerio to the Oxford Comma

The Oxford comma, or serial comma, beloved of many editors and writers, and drummed into the heads of school children everywhere, has been axed by the very institution that gave it its name.

The University of Oxford has dropped the Oxford comma.

And it's about time. It's useful when it eliminates ambiguity and makes meaning clear; otherwise, it's clutter.

    Respond and give respect
    On every comment, on your blog you must respond. You must respect the person and
    welcome him/her because people want attention. This attempt will motivate them to share
    your blog with different people. Respond to blog posts on your own blog or you can do the
    same on popular topical articles.

    Nice read…informative as well as interesting. Please send me the links of other articles that you have posted online. Your web page looks great! My dream is to open a website as attractive as yours. I am willing to pay for it. Do you know of anyone who can design a page for me? I have come across free job-posting websites like graphic design logos , freelance graphic designer
    www.envato.com, and www.e-lance.com. As I am making money from them I would like to get in touch with a good web designer to boost my profile. Help me!
