   Hi, Anton Shepelev!   
   I read your message from 09.05.2024 11:32   
      
    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 comma in   
    AK>> Oxford in the list before "and".   
      
    AS> No, it is a genuine Oxford comma in mint condition, and I use it in   
    AS> both English and Russian. All the items of an enumeration shall be   
    AS> separated by commas lest the reader mistake the last two items for   
    AS> one combined.   
      
   What do they say in England? They say that in a list "and" is a substitute for   
   a comma.   
      
   Read for instance   
   https://www.sussex.ac.uk/informatics/punctuation/comma/listing   
   and find commas before "and".   
      
   Bye, Anton!
