Kelsie Satterfield shared a video explaining the need for an Oxford comma.
The rules of English grammar can be confusing. Perhaps that is why a grammar lesson, delivered by a TikTok user, has triggered a fierce debate online. Recently, TikTok user Kelsie Satterfield used the video-sharing platform to deliver a lesson on the proper usage of Oxford comma - the comma placed before the word 'and' in a sentence. The Missouri-resident explained how one comma can change the meaning of a sentence, using a simple one as an example: "I would like to thank my parents, Batman, and Superman."
According to Ozarks First, her video on the Oxford comma has been viewed over 25,000 times on TikTok. On Twitter, where it was reposted, the video has collected more than 3.5 million views.

However, there were also those who disagreed, arguing that restructuring the sentence would eliminate the need for the Oxford comma
16-year-old Kelsie told NBC News that she decided to make the video while editing a paper for her sister who had missed out on Oxford commas. "I decided to make a fun video on TikTok, and suddenly I received all this attention! It's a bit surreal, but an amazing experience," she said.
