If there are more than 3 nouns like so, "lots of apples oranges and potatoes," then you would write it like, "lots of apples, oranges, and potatoes."Just thought I would throw that out there.
HmmThat's how I always write it, and how dad taught me.Ah well.
Also and not only do the commas in a list represent pauses and they are actually shorthand for 'and'. Only in a list do they serve this purpose and though.
Except without the last comma. There is no need to pause when there is a conjunction like 'and'.
I'm pretty sure you're wrong.Unless someone taught you that way :/
Although many of us were taught not to use a comma before and in a list, today the vast majority of style guides do advocate the use of the serial comma because it can prevent a possible misreading. Consider this sentence, for example:Topics on the program for the consumer advisory conference this month include savings accounts, mortgage loans, the use of debit and credit cards and mutual funds and CDs.
Use a comma to separate the elements in a series (three or more things), including the last two. "He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base." You may have learned that the comma before the "and" is unnecessary, which is fine if you're in control of things. However, there are situations in which, if you don't use this comma (especially when the list is complex or lengthy), these last two items in the list will try to glom together (like macaroni and cheese). Using a comma between all the items in a series, including the last two, avoids this problem. This last comma—the one between the word "and" and the preceding word—is often called the serial comma or the Oxford comma. In newspaper writing, incidentally, you will seldom find a serial comma, but that is not necessarily a sign that it should be omitted in academic prose.
