Can we convince people to use the Oxford comma, if we spread that it's anti-woke?
... you mean, convince people not to use it?
I think the implication is that people who are anti-woke are stupid so those are the ones you have to convince to use the Oxford comma since intelligent people already see the benefit.
Intelligent people avoid being redundant, though. The and/or is a substitute for the Oxford comma.
Tell that to the two strippers, JFK and Stalin.
I see you fell for the humorous disinformation, like many others.
Mate no one's gonna believe you didn't mean what you said. Next time just own up to it and move on.
Of course I meant it. The OC is redundant. People who use the JFK/Stalin anecdote are demonstrating a reliance upon memorization rather than logic as a basis of syntax.
Nah, it can be fun to be needlessly redundant.
And, have, people, write, like, this,? No thanks
Figures the Oxford comma opponent wouldn't know how to use an Oxford comma.
NERRRRRRRD FIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
runs away quickly, falls down
I think the implication might have been that stupid people will incorrectly use it overemphatically, not that he is against the comma itself, but i could be wrong
Correct, and it looks like everyone missed that that it was a joke at the end too. Oh well.
FTFY
*No, thanks.
Bet you learned English in the American south
