Thankfully, I'm pretty good at using commas. If I have trouble using a comma, that means the sentence is pretty shaky and it's time to rewrite it for clarity. So I'm not perfect, but pretty good. This was a great refresher for me! A little note: I miss your little dance at the end of your videos; it always made me smile. :)

Dear Lucy, thank you so much for another advanced lesson! Even as someone who’s been learning English for more than 30 years now, I still learn something new here and there, some bits and pieces through your videos. I’ve been wondering if you could do a video on ending sentences with a preposition and how British + American English differ in how they treat the matter. Do only 50+ / 70+ people still follow this rule? Does one sound pretentious, snobbish or just old when using it? Greetings from Germany, Matt

My understanding is that it refers to the one used in a list for the purpose of clarification, which you cover at 2:25 ff.

Is the part about the Oxford comma truly correct? I have always been under the impression that Oxford comma would be the comma before the last item in a list (stylistic option). An example: a dog, a cat, and a mouse (with the Oxford comma) a dog, a cat and a mouse (without the Oxford comma). Some googling verifies my suspicion.
