Oxford comma more like Oxford drama

By Zachary Freeman, Staff Writer

The Oxford comma, invented in 1905 by Horace Hart at the Oxford University Press, felt the comma being used before “and” in a list must be put in place to be a sophisticated writer.

The Warrior Word is ignoring this hoity toity punctuation situation and leaving the Oxford comma with the dinosaurs where it belongs. 

The Associated Press Stylebook does not support the Oxford comma anymore, and we are on board with that program.

We are here to report on the raw facts, truth and events at our school—notice there was no comma before that "and"; that is the sound of progress.

You can expect us to be moving forward without the Oxford comma but with God by our side. You can hop on that soul train with us or not; either way, we will keep on chugging along.
