Yes, proper punctuation, grammar and spelling (I'm still not sure if I like leaving that extra comma out) can certainly be fun, although I am very fond of parentheticals and ellipses... =)
Are you British or American? If you're American, then it's proper to put the comma in before the "and".
I'm American, but I was always told to put the comma in during grade school, and during college, my professors told me that I do not need to put the comma in there. Although, to be fair, my first two years of college were at a small school out in the middle of nowhere (and those times were ever so nice!). I suppose that it doesn't help that I tendency to occasionally spell things the British way without even thinking about it...
Man, now I want to go get my Little, Brown handbook, but it's at home and I'm at work. =(
Where did you go to school?
Err, well I've been to a few of them...but I suppose I should preface the list by saying that they are all in the state of Georgia, mostly in the southside of Atlanta, mostly out in the country. Here goes:
Brooks Elementary (K) Milner, Ga
Elementary school in Fayette county that I don't recall the name of (1st) Fayetteville, Ga
Mt. Zion Elementary (2nd-3rd) Jonesboro, Ga
Beaverbrook Elementary (4th-5th) Griffin, Ga
Homeschool (6th-8th) Griffin, Ga
Griffin Highschool (9th-10th) Griffin, Ga
Homeschool (GED) Griffin, Ga
Gordon College (AS) Barnesville, Ga
Georgia Tech (BS) Atlanta, Ga
Sorry in advance if I'm being too literal =)
