The Oxford comma (comma before "and") made it clearer for me. In contrast, "Sex, Age and Smartphone Addiction" would more likely lead me to the same conclusion

The Oxford comma (comma before "and") made it clearer for me. In contrast, "Sex, Age and Smartphone Addiction" would more likely lead me to the same conclusion as you.
- hunter2_ 3y agoAs someone who always uses the Oxford comma in personal writing, works for an organization whose style guide forbids it, and therefore feels quite ambidextrous on the matter: this isn't one of the cases where it should affect the interpretation. Such cases absolutely do exist, though, like when a comma can serve as either a delimiter within a series or a way to offset clarification.
