“We met Frank, a dentist and a DJ.” This makes it sound like Frank is both a dentist and a DJ.

A better example would be “we bought cake, fish, and chips.” Without the Oxford comma you’d think it was the meal fish & chips not the two separately

Yuval i've always loved this take but you really misspoke with the implying of an oxford comma bit. it's clear the "Two dogs, ben, and jerry" sentence could've been interpreted differently all

You're wrong. The audible pause you used as an example when you speak is where the comma is placed in text.

You could write "Some citrus fruits include Oranges, Lemons, and Limes" and that is where the Oxford comma is necessary and where it SHOULD be used -

Main reason I think Oxford commas should be required and not optional is because like why are we affording the last two items in a list no comma

in a world where Oxford commas are standardized, the express omission of that comma wouldn't be seen as a mistake; it would be seen as a decision.

You need them, if I say “the teams are Jack, Jill and John.” That would imply Jill and John are on the same team when they’re not
