Nice place for an Oxford comma.
- laumars 7y agoI was thinking this too. I'm generally a big fan of the Oxford comma.

- lonelappde 7y agoThe Oxford comma isn't the issue here. The issue is that "his" binds both son and girlfriend, and therefore needs an "and" in front of it. It's not grammatical as is.
- rpmisms 7y agoIt would still read perplexingly. The Oxford comma isn't a tool for the inept; rather, the ept.
- Spare_account 7y agoIt's interesting how sometimes what appears to be a prefix, isn't.
- rpmisms 7y agoThat is an affront up with which I will not put.
- hervature 7y agoJust an fyi, Oxford comma only applies to lists of 3 or more. I think this is just a dangling modifier.
