Wish elaborated further as it is already easy to comprehend the difference between comma and semicolon when it comes listing. Started watching with fascination and ended up with disappointment..thanks heaps for the effort though!

In the example'I need an apple,a banana, a car,a dog and an egg',you didn't use the Oxford comma,though you're British,beside will the phrase hold another meaning if I say'I need an apple,a banana, a car,a dog and an egg'?

Dear Sir,
I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question? Let me say presently: what do you think concerning The Oxford Comma ? Thank you kindly. I pay my respects to you. A

Thank you for your explanation, but as for commas, I would write an apple, a banana, a car, a dog, and an egg with a comma after dog. Thus, A, B, and C rather than A, B and C.
