Do you use the oxford comma?

The oxford comma, for those who do not know, is:
Quote:
a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before ‘and’ or ‘or’
For example, the last comma in this sentence:

I love candy, toys, and games.

I grew up being told that was the right way to write a sentence, so I do use the comma in such situations. But I hear it's also correct not to nowadays. *shrug* Why you got to go and change the grammar all the time??

I *always* use the Oxford comma. I recall when the rule changed, but I cannot understand why it did. There are some hilarious memes out there that illustrate why we should continue to use it. (Look up the one about the egg and the orange juice! Perfect example!)

It just doesn't make sense not to use it. It can cause all kinds of confusion to leave it out. I use it consistently, in my personal writing and at work for business purposes.
