Well played.

I am European, however; I write British English (also known as "English") and I only employ the serial comma where necessary to avoid ambiguity.

Spelling is not a part of grammar.

the only time that anybodys spellin punctuaton ore grammer bother me on here is wen they write something that is allmost impossible to read because the aint usin capitals periods question marks and all that kinda stuf so you reely has no clue what they be trying to say


Or, that one guy that wrote so poorly that he was barely intelligible but made a big deal that he was going to be a teacher. I rode him a bit hard.


I will also point out spelling mistakes or dangling participles that I find exceptionally funny.

Precisely. Therefore there is no ambiguity and no need for the serial comma.

Please note that I only snicker. Privately. I don't pester people.

You wrote that spelling is a part of grammar, or you didn't. It's hard to tell, which is why the serial comma is so important.
