   AS>> (142)[Tom]  An Oxford comma hops, skips, and jumps into a bar.   
   AK> Tom's comma is probably also a yankee's comma. ;-) No   
   AK> comma in Oxford in the list before "and".   
      
   No, it is a genuine Oxford comma in mint condition, and I   
   use it in both English and Russian.  All the items of an   
   enumeration shall be separated by commas lest the reader   
   mistake the last two items for one combined.
