If I were hipper, I might make a Vampire Weekend reference.

Did you know that there is no such thing as an Oxford Comma in Spanish? No discussion. It just doesn't exist.

That makes me sad because the debate over the Oxford Comma is my favorite thing about English grammar. I even like the Oxford/Serial Comma debate.

You know what I don't like about grammar? Learning it in Spanish.

  1. I love everything about this post. Except that you even entertain people calling it a serial comma. That's silly, inaccurate, and just plain wrong.

  2. I love that you knew about the Oxford comma debate. I love that the Spanish just decide the rules but no one changes. I hate grammar in Spanish. I love your blog.
