Can you tell me why quotation marks are used for words here on its writing tip on the use of a comma before "And"? Writing Tip: February 2, 2004 When to Use a Comma before "And" Two specific situations call for the use of a comma before "and." The first is created when we have three or more items in a series. This mark of punctuation is called the serial comma. For a full explanation of why we use the serial comma, please read our previous tip on the subject.
