I finally read the Terms of Service.

I knew I liked this forum, but after reading the TOS now I REALLY like it, just because of this one rule:
Bless you, TromboneChat gods. You are good people, good musicians, and good grammarians.
Oxford commas are the official comma of TromboneChat

I had no idea that TC had a "Terms of Service" section (nor can I locate it), and I don't think it is relevant to a forum where members can (and do) write in any style that suits then (TC is not a publication), but I endorse the use of serial ("Oxford") commas (much to the dismay of my one-time editor) since they often reduce ambiguity.

Some parts of it is more serious than other parts, like the Oxford comma :lol:

The Oxford comma is sometimes essential to a clear understanding of a sentence, and sometimes it is unnecessary.
