MrSensor:Nope. Flour and Egg makes it seem like both are the same stuff. You can't replicate both in grammarly to check which is correct sha, though I'm fairly certain it's the second. |

I dare say all are correct depending on the how slow you are talking . |

brandsoncharlie: I'll be honest, I don't know a name for it. However, I cannot deny the usage. Unfortunately it's rare and it's something people who are detailed will argue. What I mean is, if I write a sentence and it crosses my mind to use that comma style, I will avoid it - it's a questionable usage. That comma in sentence 4 comes up in questions about sentence parallelism. An appropriate usage of that comma in a sentence would be in an example like I'll need a bowl, pan, oil, doe and, a big round bucket to pack the other ingredients in. Sentences like the example above happen, but they are rare. It's not something you'll come across reading blogs. The comma question in sentence 5 is applicable when you are talking about appositives in grammar mechanics. But the commonly used like I said is the American style; yet, it has it's limits. Like someone pointed out, sometimes you have to maintain consistency in your style and use of language - AmE or BrE. |

The number of people picking B (the second sentence) is disturbing; why do so many people feel it's proper to place a 'comma' before or together with 'and'? Whilst it may not be wrong to do so in certain cases, the most appropriate answer is C (the third sentence). 1 Like |

As English language student way I be; from the top, 2 and 3 are correct because the comma before AND is optional. |
