The Importance of the Oxford Comma Β Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission, the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition raised by serious serialists keen to ensure its mandatory use in lists of three things or more. Β And what a response! From across every nation, the signatures poured in beyond all expectation β from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves, to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze. Β There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded; the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid; the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan; Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs; Β plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor β all supported this change to grammatical law. This formal petition was then presented in hope to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope. Brian Bilston
Todayβs poem is called βThe Importance of the Oxford Commaβ.
