Diving into reviewing the copyedit today. So far--the copyeditor, instructed by two editors that I insist on the Oxford comma, consistently removed them. And I'm consistently stetting them.

It's an intrinsic part of your voice as an author; the cadence and emphasis are different when an Oxford comma is used. Sometimes I choose to use it, other times, I do not. But it's always a conscious choice

Enraging. I’ve had it happen before and it’s just so tiresome.

Isn't it? My editor's putting together a new procedure to prevent this. We'll see... Meanwhile, I'm almost finished.
