Since Oxford Comma discourse is back, I'm gonna try something. Please answer these three questions:

1) Oxford Comma y/n?
2) What age/gen are you?
3) Where in the world are you from?
I'll start.

1) n
2) millennial
3) Scotland, UK
In case you've forgotten, here is an example:

WITH Oxford Comma:

Please buy me some milk, bread, and sausage.

WITHOUT Oxford Comma:

Please buy me some milk, bread and sausage.
BONUS QUESTION:

4) Does this match how you were taught at school and how strictly was this enforced?

(In my case, I was taught to NEVER use the Oxford comma and we had marks deducted for doing so in both primary and high school.)
I know that logically the Oxford comma makes lists easier to understand but I had it so strongly instilled in me to NEVER place a comma before a conjunction that I struggled to type the example above. (Though I do use a comma before "because" sometimes.)
