See, but that’s fiction, and poetry, and made up words can be used however the maker-upper sees fit. Unlike real words and sentences, which have rules. It is a frabjous day, indeed, when someone properly invokes the Oxford comma…

Didn’t mean it as pointing fingers at you (or anyone), just defending myself that sometimes, my being a stickler is for the best…
