I never said anything about it being necessary because it changes the meaning in some instances. I think it’s necessary because without it you don’t have a pause, and I like the pause.

That’s a silly question, I never said it always changes the meaning. I said it can.

“The event had a panel of our professors, a doctor and a former sex worker”.

I’ve always written how I want my words to be read—even academic papers. That’s the whole point of writing and grammar.

I hate it when people don’t use the Oxford comma. I like the pause and, like you said, it can change the meaning.

A comma invites a quick pause, a semi-colon a longer pause; an em dash a dramatic pause—and a period a full breath.

When the Oxford comma is absent no pause.
