So what do you think of the lack of the Oxford Comma in Eats, Shoots and Leaves, Robert? Are you like me and think that it should definitely be there, or do you subscribe to the view held by many of my acquaintances that the "and" takes the place of the comma, which therefore (a) is redundant and (b) whose usage is in fact incorrect?
