I always use it. Also, if I'm ever proofreading something for someone and they don't have one, I put one in and write "a comma goes here, ****" in the margins.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I don't usually use oxford commas. It's purpose has never been clear to me, I find them annoying and their not useful in my opinion.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Given my druthers, I prefer to use the Oxford comma, to minimize possible ambiguity.
But most of the people who pay me fall on the other side of the issue, and I like to eat.
I also had to break myself of the "two spaces between sentences" habit for the same reason.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I put in two by habit also. Even on twitter. It's important enough to be worth one of the 140 chars.
I think it was a subversive effort by the designer of HTML, because if you have more than one space it'll just make it become one space."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I only use ellipses. It makes people wonder if I'm really saying more than I am ... builds suspense ... makes my posts look longer ... and helps to highlight important topics with the use of white space.

I had the two spaces habit in highschool, but it wasn't the way things were written in college/graduate school. So I stopped.
