On the last paper I wrote, which was a term paper, we were only supposed to have 6-8, and I ended up turning in 12 and a half... | ||

I use two as I've been taught to use two, but in most printed works they use only one, and most typesetters recommend using only one. I remember reading this a while back (sin #4), but I'm still not sure if I agree that not doing it is a sin, rather than simply preference. To me it's the same as using normal commas, or Oxford commas. Most places recommend using a normal comma, I tend to use an Oxford comma because it makes more sense to me. | ||

I also remember english teachers telling me serial commas were wrong. | ||

I always make a conscious effort to not use serial commas but then I compulsively go back and add them in because it sounds fucked if I don't. | ||

"Lol" isn't an actual word, yet it's probably the most used word on the entire internet. Asking a forum for advice on grammar probably isn't the best idea. That people dont take it too seriously doesnt mean theyre morons about it. | ||
