ok, so I woulda put a comma after shipment. I thought that is a serial comma? I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. lol

My understanding is that serial comma/Oxford comma are the same thing.

When I first started, the editors would use technical terms and I'd have to Google them.

Hah, well done the drivers.

I always use the Oxford/serial comma. I don't mind reading stuff that doesn't, but what annoys me is where it's used only sporadically when it's needed "for clarity". Either use it or don't I say
