    @chris @jd As an editor, I've seen a lot of these kinds of mistakes. Yes, the person who wrote them missed it because you tend to automatically filter out the 'wrong meaning without even thinking about it. But 'unclear writing because people usually figure it out' is not really a substitute for clarity.

    @maccruiskeen @jd my point is Oxford comma should be for preventing likely wrong interpretations, or where the consequences are severe, not merely possible ones

            My pets walk bare foot. Thankfully they quit smoking several years ago.

              We had a problem in Ludlow (UK) a few years ago. The council put up signs saying

              "No parking enforcement in operation"

              and then started ticketing people for parking. I think they ended up cancelling a lot of the tickets.

                @jd There's no building in progress there. Would be very different if it prohibited things inside the building 🙂

                    @chris @jd It's not just bad punctuation. One time I was in a supermarket and the shopping cart had a little sign on the child seat: "Do not leave child in cart. Do not leave in parking lot.' Like, I hop no one needs to be told not to leave their child in the parking lot.

                              Why?

                              As long as your barefoot pet doesn't smoke, anything should be just fine?
