Is it true that the Oxford comma is grammatically incorrect in English?
No. Reference material on the serial comma shows major style guides recommend or require it and that it is standard in American English, while a 2024 preprint argues for omitting it on aesthetic and clarity grounds. Nothing supports the claim that the Oxford comma is grammatically incorrect.
