The Oxford comma (also known as the serial comma) is used to separate the last two items in a list of three or more items. It is also used to prevent ambiguity. The semicolon (;) is used to join two independent clauses, or two complete sentences. It is also used to separate items in a list that already contain commas. The em dash (—) is used to show a break in a sentence, whether for emphasis, interruption, or to create an abrupt change in thought.
