Obviously the author is not on Team Oxford Comma. Nor even on Team Comma.

I once made a smart-ass remark, on Disqus, at Clientsfromhell about the “Cambridge Comma,” (for those unfamiliar, this is wiseassery, as no such thing exists) and some woman answered me seriously, opining on the use thereof.

sigh.

I’m down with the Prager Comma (bends to the right…). What about the Liberty Comma and the UNLV Comma? Oh, baby, the fun we could have here…

I would say that the BYU comma is more or less just like the Oxford comma, but it isn’t allowed to be used in lists involving caffeinated beverages.

The BYU-Hawaii is a variation of the ʻokina that follows the same rule about caffeine.

Better than commas with a bundling board!

The UNLV comma is only there with a certain probability, but if you get a gold comma, you win the jackpot.
