I already won an it's vs. its argument against you, remember?
If you don't trust me, then how about page 2 of
William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White
The Elements of Style
I quote:
2. In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a
comma after each term except the last.
Note how
Texinfo (@node titles), Perl, and Fortran.
did conform to this rule before the patch.
How about Stefan Monnier's argument to rather add this to ruby-mode.el
instead of add-log.el?
Adrian, whose first language is the Carinthian dialect of Austrian :-)
