Stranded Suez Freighter Overloaded With All Those Returned Oxford, Commas

EgyptNow that the stranded container ship blocking the Suez canal has finally been freed, more disturbing details of the ship’s contents are surfacing. The freighter carried an unusually large number of returned Oxford commas. Whether or not this contributed to the disaster remains unclear. One chief editor said, “After the commas weren’t being used as much, well, the extra ones started stacking up a bit.” The controversy started when several grammar experts, perhaps most notably the AP-stylebook, encouraged a change in usage by suggesting the removal of the comma right before the last item of any list. The decision has since given many scholars pause.

You may be asking yourself, why were these commas all being returned and to where? They were being returned to Oxford, England, obviously. Look, I think those MST guys said it best:

“Repeat to yourself its just a show, I should really just relax.”
