And the Oxford comma video is a little gem. :-) Made me smile. <br /><br />Colin - Occasionally I click over and browse your blog. The Charlie Hebdo post is right on target, and expresses exactly what I have been thinking this week. Thank you for putting that into words. I would have commented on your site, but could not find a place to do so, so I'm borrowing Simon's space for that. <br /><br />That is all. Please carry on doing what you're doing, both of you. And thank you for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br />~BarbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-40802441522462354002015-01-11T23:27:01.044+00:002015-01-11T23:27:01.044+00:00Are you responsible for the claim that the Oxford ...Are you responsible for the claim that the Oxford comma has to be used (or not) consistently, then?

Being a non-original English speaker I always wondered why you put a comma before 'and' and 'or'. Now I know. Excellent web-site from Oxford.
