  1. People who don't use Oxford commas tend to also be the people who say things like "an historical" or "exetera." Research also shows they kick puppies more.

  2. MrC0MPUT3R "An house", "an horror", "an helicopter", "an hill", "an hurricane", "an horse"... see where I'm getting at? "An" only applies when the H is silent, e.g. "an hour", "an heir", "an honest", "an honor", and (depending on dialect) "an herb." You don't pronounce history as "eestory", unless you have a really thick cockney or French accent.

  3.  @livinglifeform7974  I said depending on the dialect. It's pronounced "erb" in American, Canadian, and Philippine English; but "herb" everywhere else. Not everyone speaks the same English dialect as you.

  4. MrC0MPUT3R Yes. Some people. But do you?

  5.  @jakeharrisonwoods5295  Ironic, because as the name suggests, the convention is the standard of the Oxford University Press.
