  Ok, has anyone notices the strange type-O’s on Noah’s website. Repeated, loss of the second comma in sentences like: “DEMAND SUCCESS IN LIFE, LOVE and WORK”. (no comma after Love)
  
  “In business, love and life I attract success because I know what it takes to get the job done…” (no comma after Love)
  
  If you believe you have the right to whine, bitch or moan about how I handle my business… (no comma after bitch)
  
  There are at least 2-3 more just like this. Same loss of second comma over and over.

  As a dormant grammar snob, I’m digging this observation. Gunna look more in to the implications.

  I wouldn’t exactly call these typo’s. While I and others do like the Oxford comma, it’s still considered stylistic, so whether or not it’s correct depends on what style guide you adhere to. In the AP stylebook for example I know it’s appropriate to omit it. Maybe Noah Sinclair is a journalist by trade.

    I’m a fan of the Walken Comma…

  Or he’s actually an undercover investigative journalist pretending to be a self-help guru??

  Screw your grammar rules! Noah Sinclair does whatever he wants. You think he gives a damn what the AP has to say?

  Yeah, while I am the first to jump on any typos or grammar mistakes, this doesn’t bother me – it is a perfectly acceptable stylistic choice. I don’t use the Oxford comma and have never had any complaints over my writing. I am also an editor and I would not bring this up with a client…

  I prefer the Oxford comma. Without it, you can get things like this:
