The Oxford comma (also known as the 'serial comma') is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by 'and' or 'or.'

It is optional...but be aware that not using the serial comma can result in some ambiguity.

The statement provides an explanation of the Oxford comma and its optional use, along with a caution about potential ambiguity when it is not used. It does not engage with public issues, debates, or discussions that contribute to civic dialogue.
