Commas

For Sterling's benefit and no one else, I have a new argument against the use of the Oxford comma.  In laying out justified text, with a mind to wrapping it prettily around nice tables, extra commas fuck up the kerning of letters and produce ugliness.  Less commas look better and ask for less insinuative attention.
