None, I got tired of people yelling at me at the DC form about my grammar and decided to do something about it. What's your excuse?

Like half a millennia ago. Interestingly, some would have you think that's due to Latin but Celtic languages used gender in language as well. Not sure if germanic languages ever did.
English is a Germanic language. Swedish in particular has lost much of its inflections and gender differentiation, but Germanic languages are gendered and, despite that bullshit about Latin that DB posted, sentences tend not to end with prepositions, although for the same reasons. Way back when I was a kid, we had actual actresses and even an arrant aviatrix; there were barmaids and stewardesses instead of bartenders and flight attendants.
But Feminism destroyed that as well. What won't the scourge of Feminism ruin?

Also, omitting the Oxford comma is the language equivalent of using Common Core arithmetic

I dismiss it constantly but I just shit post. If I want to look polished I will add it but in informal settings it's ok to not use it (9/10 cases.)

I'm not hung up on ommiting it as much as I am on commie professors intentionally dumbing down our language and heritage to the lowest common denominator. Thankfully, they haven't gotten very far with that. Meanwhile I'll just post whatever the fuck I want.

Nope, should be a hyphen or colon. Doesn't work with a comma.
It's a fucking run-on people!

You realize I enjoy writing? Please don't make my brain hurt with rules that I have no intention of either following, or bend to such a degree that I don't care either way.

That's where the comma goes.
Stick to your numbers.

I don't how safe the outskirts are after deblasio exiled all the bums from the subways. They're probably pillaging the countryside as we speak.
