              Oh good, I don't have to edit the poll to ensure that the correct answer is chosen.

                  I was raised in an Oxford comma world, but I have been weaned off of it by journalism.

                  I don't actually feel very strongly about it. Either way is fine, though using the traditional Oxford (series) comma is less ambiguous in many cases.

                    Had to look into Wiki to get what this is about. In Kraut normally it's uncommon, but my presence in the anglophone net sphere has kinda brainwashed me to use it myself

                      Yes. I use it. I was originally taught to use it but then in high school was taught it was not proper but I held unto it.

                          sometimes yes and sometimes no. it depends on the context.

                            Whichever produces the least ambiguous sentence.

                              Least ambiguous? When people can't even spell, I think a comma is the least of their worries in regard to writing.
