[QUOTE="NSA, post: 202341, member: 10034"] When you're writing a sentence and you include a few things, when you're coming to the end of the list and the time comes for you to use the word "and", do you stick a comma in front of it? I see people do it all the time. The first time I seen somebody do it I was like... wtf? Today in college my friend brought this up and everyone in class started arguing over whether it is right to use it or not (regardless of the situation). So what do you think? Don't you know? Well, which one of these sentences looks right to you? "I would like to thank my parents, Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey". OR "I would like to thank my parents, Bill Clinton, and Oprah Winfrey".
