In defense of the serial comma

If you'd asked me how I felt about the serial/Oxford comma when I was working in New York, you'd have quickly learned I was dead-set against it.  I thought it was too mucky, overkill, too much—and I was yet to've worked with a single stylebook that used it.

Now, working in Denver, I find it poetic, calming—even romantic. It's funny how people change*. I could say the same thing about the Mile High City itself, actually—so who knows what we're talking about anymore.
