Let’s Begin…
If you read "Bob, a DJ and a clown" on a guest list, are three people
coming to the party, or only one? That depends on whether you're for or
against the Oxford comma -- perhaps the most hotly contested
punctuation mark of all time. When do we use one? Can it really be optional,
or is there a universal rule? TED-Ed explores both sides of this comma
conundrum.
