He went to the store, the park, and then ate a hotdog.
The Oxford Comma makes more sense to my brain here because there is travelling, more travelling, and then not traveling.

Now see, both look fine to my brain because they each belong to a single group of things or people you love.
But not everyone has such an astute brain! Some might actually think those parents were Lady Gaga and Humpty Dumpty!
Who give a fuck about an Oxford comma?

Sky, the one thing I rarely pay attention to is the Oxford comma in poetry because it's really not a requirement. The use is optional; however, I do remember catching a line which would've been much better served with one. I believe it was one of Revolution Al's, and he'd never heard of it, but loved the way it affected the line.
I will start paying attention. I am very behind on yours anyway.

If a DUPer asks for Honest critique
i will scrutinize the spill and see if i can comment without sounding like a "know-it-all" and comment in kindness.
If they ask for kind feedback,
i do not look for anything but the essence of the spill.
& for the incredible writers i follow...........i get indolent and often don't check because You all are sooooooooooo waaaaaaaaay above my skill level.
& so, in answer to Your Q
sorry, but i have not been keeping track.

thanks...actually not that complicated and makes sense.....though i was ignorant of it...
that my parents could be mistaken; that both of them could be mistaken for being Ayn Rand and God made me realize that it is actually a thing to be aware of ...
edit: that Skydancer likes my nose, caving and looking for rare stones
may imply that she likes looking for these things up my nose. that this could be implied more appropriately, as i understand is reason for the existenceof the Oxford comma.
