Fuck the Oxford comma, nobody cares, itâs always left out.
The only rule that matters is that it indicates a slight pause in speech,
Thatâs my thinking on it mate (see, youâre really my mate)
As opposed to, nice question, mate (I think youâre a cunt)

Hopefully this will help once we get over the initial hilarity of everybody peppering replies to me with commas.
