Teacher, teacher, please answer my question. Seriously, has it really changed? Can you ask your English teacher friends?

Another source says it depends on which style guide is used, and That depends on the discipline. And, I didn't know there was a special word, but I would use it if it makes your writing flow more clearly. |

[QUOTE=Nat;300026]I like wikipedia's take on it.
"There are people who embrace the Oxford comma, and people who don't, and I'll just say this, never get between these people when drink has been taken. I am all for not ignoring the Harvard Comma. Another source: http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxabandc.html |

As a french speaker, I suffer from the comma syndrome... At least, that is what some of my professors told me about my papers written in english...

I believe telephone is the correct full word and phone is an acceptable contraction of it. A bit like refrigerator and fridge. Or aeroplane (airplane in the U.S.) and plane. I was also taught that a comma does not precede the word and. |

Oh!!!!!!!
Finally!!
A thread I can call my own!!! ~I Tilde my ASS off! ~ I start a LOT of sentences with "And" <I am a mother several times over....there is a legitimate reason for beginning some of my sentences with "And"! I regularly aggravate my love by using ellipsis incorrectly. She aggravates me by tailgating. Tit for Tat. I capitalize when I should not........I don't when I should. ~sigh~ I cannot stop reaching over to the upper left hand corner and ~putting~those~tildes~everywhere!! My mother is an editor and she cringes when she sees my punctuation. <And my spelling. AND my refusal to own 16 purses. AND me putting the toilet paper square so it starts behind the roll instead of OVER the roll. etc. She loves me despite me being such a disregarding rebel!! You guys need to also! Thank you for providing a thread that feels like home. I am now going to find the girls room here and reverse the toilet paper.
