“The common law has always been the deciding factor on such issues, controlling law comes from “Icklin v. Hatchet, 234 F.Supp.2d 574 (1992), where the court ruled . . .” You know who gives a **** about the oxford comma? Lawyers it’s required in making a list I guess Vampire Weekend never went to law school. and they do their ellipses all weird too “space dot. Space dot. Space dot. Space.” Ignoring the common normal condition of the punctuation, “Dot. Dot. Dot.” it’s coming on infuriating I learned to write where look and sound was critical, but all of this is just literal it’s not emotional I can’t feel the words, they’re not tactile pressured to write in the analytical keep it to the factual it has to be practical applicable rational language bordering on puritanical! But in betwixt the archaic form there is structure a logic emerges that is hard to ignore it builds itself like a Gothic cathedral beautiful, strong, bearing the full weight of the authority it presents! Note the list of adjectives and its **** oxford comma.
