DH says a list in a sentence should be punctuated like this:
"I have a cat, a dog, a fish, and a fox"
My DCs say school taught them to do this:
"I have a cat, a dog, a fish and a fox"
Does the "and" take the place of the final comma? DH says no, because that makes the fish and fox one "item"??
I'm confused.
