I thought it was the gobspotted freckled tree grumbler.
The use of the “and” substitutes for a comma. Don W is incorrect, at least in my opinion and as I was taught. As for Oxford, they are English, what do they know?
Thanks for the input.
Using AND as a substitute for a comma is the way I was also taught. Now I know Im not losing my memory and going crazy.

The article above is a demonstration of the confusion possible withOUT an Oxford comma.
Is it a NUMBER of ten foot long spikes, or is it ten, foot long spikes?
(PS, Don’t look at the photos. Ouch and Yuck!)
