It's a shame the localization gods didn't give us the ability to choose
which style guide we want our app to follow :)
Sadly, there's no such unity among en_US and en_GB, with the newspaper
style guides omitting the "oxford comma" and the others recommending its
use. I think the reality is more subtle: use it when it reduces ambiguity
and omit it when it doesn't.
I'll just stick to working on my pluralization/singularization code...
Isn't english grand?
