How weird is that: such a common item of punctuation having such varied use in different languages? This is how we put a comma in a Russian language list. It seems weird to me that you would put a comma after the next-to-last item on the list. There's no particular logic behind it: we just don't have the Oxford comma in Russian.Grade 2: She came home with a book, a toy, a bat and a ball.
