Is the thing about a comma before "and" in a list, such as
helium, neon, and argon
not
helium, neon and argon
a little pedantic if you don't mind me asking? I've had quizzes returned JUST for that and is it really worth waiting 2 months to have it returned for something nbody will even notice? It's not a major grammar error or anything
Chemistry is awesome!

Anyone who submits a quiz needs to follow the Quiz Making Guidelines:
The QuizMasters don't pick and choose which rules to follow; we ensure quizzes follow all the guidelines.
There are two kinds of people. Do you spread happiness WHEREver you go or WHENever you go?
Use commas to separate three or more words or phrases written in a series. Don't forget the last comma before the conjunction; it isn't optional. "I like grapes, apples, and oranges."
