    I could of thought of some other reasons, which ever would have more suitability for this an event.

    Why grammar is used less on grammar threads, than "normal" threads? Anyways, I sure do agree with this.

     Because the Oxford comma is amazing and makes lists much more clear than leaving it out does.

    Yes, I am aware that it isn't exactly spotless grammar, but (<-- lol) it makes a little more sense to have a comma before a conjunction such as "but" and sometimes "and" etc, when you just want a little pause just before the conjunction.

    Thanks for noticing that, fixed it just now.

    @Everyone thanks for your support!

    You just summed up my 4th grade "grammar classes" I had to take! (Yes I remember it, how can i forget this: "and a proper noun is...Timmy?", blah blah "Good job, here's your candy! One step closer to obesity! go fat people!)

    Call me a critic but, threads like this aren't going to improve how anyone talks. I get lax and drop whole words out sometimes just because I can't be bothered to. Respect is a personal thing, if you think highly of people just because of how they write, you should reexamine stuff. :P

    You make a good point actually, but there's nothing wrong with it, and I use it quite a bit myslef.

     I appreciate your view on the oxford comma. However, you mispelled 'myself'.
