    Part 1:
    The Oxford comma is controversial. I myself have fought vehemently with people many times over my love of the Oxford comma. Even if you decide not to use it (and I immediately disown you), you should know what it is. Court cases have been won and lost over it.

    Part 2:
    Definition: the Oxford comma is the comma that comes right before the last phrase at the end of any list. Example:
    “Red, white, and blue.” Oxford comma
    “Red, white and blue.” No Oxford comma

    Part 3:
    Journalism and laws are written without the Oxford comma. In the former case, it started as a means of saving room, and therefore money.

    Part 4:
    Both sides of the argument believe without question that their side makes sentences more understandable. For comma haters, “Red, white and blue” are understood to be three separate descriptors/items. For comma lovers, without the comma, they are clearly only two descriptors/items.
