Comment on Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing?

Don’t know, I’m just here to state my absolute hate for the practice. Sure you don’t write " A and B and C and D", but “A, B, C, and D”. But " A, B" is absolutely awful.

Upvoted purely for the use of the Oxford comma.

It tends to remove ambiguity

I feel the pause of the Oxford comma when I speak. Always throws off the rhythm of a sentence when I don’t see it in text.

Another thing that used to interrupt my reading flow. I’ve since come around though.
