Grammar: Do you use an Oxford comma?
It's the use of a comma before the and. Some people are for it, others are against it.

I know the rules changed like 6 years ago where you don't have to use it anymore but I still do.

It depends who you ask. Some people don't use it, and see it as something pointless. While others do, and see its use as a way to avoid ambiguity.
In other words, it use is controversial for people into grammar.

I do the same thing. Writing looks so much more professional when the Oxford comma is used.

I don't use it. What annoys me is when people, randomly add commas in the middle of sentences.
