cathedrals

"...there were rows upon rows of pews, old oak polished to a shine--and far, far above that, the flight of gray stone carved into arches. Pillars formed shadowed corridors; windows soared on the wall beyond. The flagstones gleamed. There was sunlight all around and dust in the air and a stillness that had weight."

HAHAHAHA That’s not an Oxford comma. No one is in favor of eliminating commas that follow interjections. The Oxford comma is the comma that follows the second to last item in a list—for example, the one after stupid: The “committee to publicly shame and humiliate Adam Robertson” makes posts that are pretentious, stupid, and wrong. How’s that for an unambiguous sentence?

HAHAHAHA
