Ah, the importance of the Oxford comma. It’s the punctuation mark used after the second-to-last item in a list of three or more items. And it’s often more important than people give it credit for. Among those who recently found this out: dairy drivers in Maine who won an appeal because of a missing Oxford comma. In the suit over overtime pay against Oakhurst Dairy, drivers complained that a list of tasks not eligible for overtime did not make it clear whether “distribution” counted, mainly because of the lack of comma.
No one hates the Oxford comma as much as this employer
