Does the policy disallow Oxford commas?
2 comments

As far as I understand it, the policy disallows listings in the short description, and the algorithm wrongly categorized the sentence as a listing because of the Oxford comma.
Isn't an Oxford comma, by definition, part of a list of items?
I'd guess our machine overlords didn't like it
