The United Kingdom officially left the European Union on January the 31st, three-and-a-half years after the British people voted to leave. The U.K. government issued a special coin to mark the occasion. However, the coin is at the centre of an argument about punctuation. The new 50-pence coin became available yesterday. It has the words: "Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations" on its reverse side. A famous British writer, Sir Philip Pullman, is unhappy with the punctuation. He believes the phrase is incorrectly punctuated. Mr Pullman said there should be a comma after the word "prosperity". Such a comma is called an Oxford comma. He said the coin, "should be boycotted by all literate people".

接上
The Oxford comma gets its name from the Oxford University Press, which makes common use of the punctuation mark. In the USA, it is called the serial comma. It is used before the final "and" or "or" in a written list of three or more items. Many people say there is no need for an Oxford comma in the phrase on the 50-pence coin because the meaning is very clear. Word expert Susie Dent said the Oxford comma is useful if it makes it easier to understand the writer's meaning. A U.K. citizen said the comma issue wasn't important. She tweeted: "It doesn't matter if there is a comma or not on the 50p coin. The most important thing is that there is peace, and prosperity, and friendship with all nations."

看了解释后也觉得有趣。
In English language punctuation, a serial comma or series comma (also called an Oxford comma or a Harvard comma) is a comma placed immediately before the coordinating conjunction (usually and or or) in a series of three or more terms.

British English allows constructions with or without this comma, while on the other hand it is common and even often considered mandatory in American English.
英式英语允许结构上有或没有连续逗号,反而在美式英语中却被普遍使用,甚至通常被认为是强制使用的。

例句
They went to Oregon with Betty, a maid, and a cook.
理解：蓓蒂，女佣，厨子，三人。女佣蓓蒂，厨子，二人。
They went to Oregon with Betty, a maid and a cook.
理解：女佣兼厨子的蓓蒂，一人。

这个连续逗号有也麻烦，没有也麻烦。
