I hated Sony for the longest time as a kid, refused to buy the PS2 because I always looked at them as the guys who removed Sega from the hardware business. In truth Sega had no one to blame but themselves.
@Mogan: This is true. Although maybe a cultural thing. In the UK we got scalded for putting commas after and in any instance. If you are American, then you guys are a lot more liberal with that kind of thing. Probably explains why Brits are generally more whiney and particular over grammar, haha!
What I meant is that a typo is just the mishitting of keys. The error in the headline is by conscious choice. Although others do not see it as an error so maybe I should just shut my pie hole.
@Mogan: There wasn't supposed to be an Oxford comma in my first example, I was highlighting what happens when you do not use one and how it could cause confusion.
Technically you are correct about the list of three items or more, but in practice they are only necessary if there is a possibility the sentence will be misinterpreted (as I was trying to show in my first example).
@Mogan: The Oxford comma should only be used when the meaning of a sentence can be misinterpreted, take the below example:
I love my parents, Pocahontas and Humpty Dumpty.
Some people will read that and interpret it to mean that your parents are Pocahontas and Humpty Dumpty, so you would put a comma before the "and" to show that you are instead listing the things you love. Or you could just rephrase the sentence so there is no need to use an Oxford comma at all:
