General The Oxford Comma

[member 3289]

I'm a reductionist. You've had me confused ever since you posted the Hitler/Stalin thing, but never again since the bunny wife. The Oxford Comma is a farce.

It's like the kaleidoscope guy said above - the problem is with the structure of the sentence in the OP, not with the comma.

A more properly formed sentence would read like this:

When not programming, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful wife, hanging out with my pet bunny, and learning new things about philosophy and science.

Good God that looks terrible. Can I confirm I do not want to eat that.

It's a damn near fluorescent orange which isn't the most appealing color for food. My son loves it as do 98% of children. It's not bad if you mix in some bacon, put real cheese on top and bake it for a bit in the oven to melt said cheese and have garlic toast with it.

Funny story, my uncles best friend in college ate Kraft Dinner for every. He was too broke to buy meat and vegetables and it was cheap. During this time he got really sick so he went to the doctor to find out what was wrong. Due to the lack of fruits and vegetables in his diet he had scurvy. He didn't succumb to the disease (he ate some limes) but learned his lesson.

Nice story.

So this packet mac and cheese is only good if you add loads of cheese and other ingredients to it? Just buy Mac....

I agree but my son likes it without anything added and it's cheap (50 cents a box). I don't mind giving it to him now and again.

But using this example makes the guy's wife in the OP a pet bunny. Even if he worded it wrongly.

Maybe he's into that.

Used to freak me out when I lived in Canada. Those snow dwellers fucking love the stuff.

What, the, fuck, are, you, people, arguing, about?

Fixed,
