Okay, serial commas are correct, right? Because I see a lot of variation in this.
Actually, it depends on which stylebook you're using. Chicago likes them, AP doesn't, to use two examples. They're much more common on this side of the pond than the other (with the exception of, oddly enough, Oxford, whose UP quite likes them).
Personally, I think anyone who doens't use them is a heathen, but that's just me. ;)
Also, uhh, I'm from CA. Does that count as North or South?
For purposes of this, I think I'll count it as North. Although...hmmm. It's not, really. Damn. Should've put a "West" option or something. Anyway, North, I guess.
