Self-explanatory poll.
I'm up in the air about it. I use it, but the only feedback I've ever gotten is to not.
Thoughts?

Beat me to it. Use it, don’t use it on your hinge profile. “Liking” the Oxford comma isn’t a thing. Using it a rule. I cannot stress this enough.
Grammarly has ruined me forever.
My coworker uses Grammarly and he still can't write a coherent paragraph to save his life, it blows my mind how bad he is at writing.
Lmaoooo, I have had this exact conversation with so many people over the years. "The tool gives you all the suggestions you need, we paid for premium to make sure of that...what's the deal?"
I'm a firm believer in crutches like Grammarly making you worse at what it is trying to improve upon. For example, I turned off auto correct and spell check on my texting so I have to think about what I'm writing and ensure I spell it right. I'd like to think it has helped me!
I use it for copywriting, but for most other use-cases I am going in blind.
Do you use a Braille keyboard for that?
I like this more than 1 upvote.
Also, reading helps.
Like, a lot.
I 100% believe that autocorrect has permanently ruined the english language - however, linguistic anthropologists would argue that it has simply "evolved". I still think I'm right.

Sometimes I question whether I'm right or not.
I know it's a not a necessary rule, but it looks so wrong without it.
This is exactly how I feel. Looks naked without it.
I answered "don't care", looked up what the fuck the Oxford comma was, and then realized that I do in fact use it.
Yes...I didn't know that not using it is a valid option
Yes 100% of the time. Doesnt look proper without
This poll should be tied to age groups as well because I think anyone who went to college after 2008 was taught to omit it, unless it is necessary to clarify something. It is just like the 1 or 2 spaces after a period argument in my opinion - certain rules are antiquated.
2 spaces after a period is a holdover from the days of typewriters - certainly antiquated.
The Oxford comma is used to clarify the intent/meaning of a sentence, and is a very different thing than the 1 vs. 2 space question. It doesn't diminish the meaning when omitted, and so it's best to use it as a default.
I assume you're American given your use of the word 'college' as opposed to 'university'.
Perhaps your experience is simply further American linguistic divergence from England...

I had to look up what the oxford comma is but upon investigation, I do in fact use the oxford comma ;)
I personally find it annoying lol. But hey guess that's how they taught us in school
Always.
Definitely!
Oxford? Didn’t we fight a war so we didn’t have to care about the British?
Religiously!
What the heck is this?!

Never heard of her
I use it but omit when targeting US-based companies.
I don’t think anyone cares…
Idk, I think you'd be surprised
Maybe, I could be totally wrong, don’t have much of a bearing tbh
Fair enough, to each their own!
