That's a nitpick, not an actual grammatical error. Oxford commas are unnecessary. If you want to nitpick, there are also several run-on sentences.

Oxford commas are necessary, as the pic demonstrated.

If you're a literalist who has no room for contextual interpretation I guess they're necessary. They're unnecessary who wouldn't get confused that easily.

Says the dude who railed at me for using three hyphens for an m-dash?

Formatting and grammar are two different things bucko.

Your grammar war with me is well-established, so I don't know why you're trying to deny this as another grammar Nazi, military engagement. If I had been the one to neglect the Oxford comma, then we'd be having a different conversation.

I called you pretentious. Not a "name". And I wasn't joking at all. My basis is your habit of acting like you ****ing own the place a lot of times. Don't post this. Don't post that. Don't stray off topic. Keep things on point. Blah blah blah. It gets old sometimes.
