Was I wrong all these years? I always thought you add a comma to separate items in a series. A series is three or more items and the last two items have or, and, or nor between them.

My creative writing classes in high school taught no comma before and. I've never seen it in print in the way your link shows or I've never noticed it.
Just went looking and now I see it. Apparently I was taught wrong. Too late to go back to that teacher now. A comma before the "and" looks strange and incorrect to me after so many years. I see no logic to it when "and" should replace it as I was taught.

No comma before the "and".
Sometimes you use the "and" as an emphasiser than a conjunciton. I went to the supermarket, bought myself apples,oranges, and, (pause in speech) bananas, because you asked me for them, otherwise I would not have bought them at all!. They are too high on carbohydrates and I am dieting!!!! (the triple exclamation marks are used in dialogue to show irritation :). I am not. .

@Ducka, I am in that kind of mood.:) And another also amidst kids stuff in books "a gift to amen". I thought this site would be interesting.. except for the moderators :). (Hoot!)By the way, I am intrigued, can a moderator ask of the people here not to give anyone Karma.. What's so important about Karma? For me this is just to help people and that I do all the time. Lousy business woman of course!. :).

That's what I thought.
I found it otherwise in a textbook.
What do they know???
The comma goes before and only when connecting two unlike clauses, as in...
"It was my birthday, and we went to the movies."
Right?
