The serial comma
Jacqueline is “an evangelist for the serial comma”. Her article linked me to the following, from Wikipedia:
The Times once published an unintentionally humorous description of a Peter Ustinov documentary, noting that “highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector.”
I think this is an area where intelligence and discretion use beats slavish convention.
