- Serial_comma abstract "In English punctuation, a serial comma or series comma (also called Oxford comma and Harvard comma) is a comma placed immediately before the coordinating conjunction (usually and, or, or nor) in a series of three or more terms. For example, a list of three countries might be punctuated either as "France, Italy, and Spain" (with the serial comma), or as "France, Italy and Spain" (without the serial comma).Opinions among writers and editors differ on whether to use the serial comma. In American English, a majority of style guides mandate use of the serial comma, including The MLA Style Manual, The Chicago Manual of Style, Strunk and White's Elements of Style, and the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual. The Associated Press Stylebook and the Stylebook published by The Canadian Press for journalistic writing advise against it. According to the Canadian Oxford Dictionary[citation needed],“Commas are used to separate items in a list or sequence. Usage varies as to the inclusion of a comma before and in the last item; the practice of this dictionary is to include it: The following will compete in the first heat: Cohen, Sallese, Paterson, and Roy. It is used less often in British English, but some British style guides require it, including the Oxford University Press style manual. Some, including Fowler's Modern English Usage, use it only where necessary to avoid ambiguity.".
