As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’. But when a comma would assist in the meaning of the sentence or helps to resolve ambiguity, it can be used — especially where one of the items in the list is already joined by ‘and’.

YES. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

While I personally don’t have strong feelings about the serial comma (I consider myself mildly opposed), I am excited about the fact that there seems to be a movement to consolidate “what is correct” in one direction.  

This changes so much!  Please don’t read that in a sarcasm voice, I’m a little sad about this.

“There’s a saying that in criminal court, you have bad people at their best,” said Texas Supreme Court Justice Debra Lehrmann, who spent more than 20 years as a family court judge. “In family law, you get good people at their worst. In criminal court, dangerous people are in handcuffs. In family court, you don’t have any idea who is dangerous.”
