I was taught to always avoid the Oxford comma by Mrs Nelson, my year 4 primary school teacher and a formidable dominatrix.
But seriously, I love the Oxford Comma. So I made a starter pack of other serial comma aficionados. And I'll keep adding to it as I find more members of Team Oxford Comma . . .

The clubby rich pedophile world they're so sad to see gone isn't even "lost" or "gone," it's alive and well in the White House.
Part of how it got there was by the NYTimes running interference for Trump while sitting on the story of a pedophile telling one of its reporters he could ruin Trump.

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Big Gabi getting a potentially big injury is something people are allowed to be upset about. Our player of the season so far, best defender in the league, a regular match winner. We have good back ups, but losing your most inspirational defender at the peak of their form is obviously a bad thing.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
