My co-worker refuses to use it. Whenever I ask him to proof a document for me, he always takes them out. It never fails.

Alternatively, I always use the Oxford comma. Needless to say, the two of us are at an impasse.

What's your stance on this?

There isn't a stance to be had. You're either correct and use it, or you're incorrect and don't use it.

IMO this is short-sighted, inaccurate and narcissistic.

That is the last comma in a list, correct?

Really bothers me when people don't use that.

Now's a good time to remind everyone that two spaces after a period is civilized and the rest of you are pure trash

Pitiful that you're being downvoted for this. This is excellent.

Sir, I must inform you that you seem to have left off proper punctuation at the end of your sentence.

I'm adamant upon its use. I also subscribe to the rule implemented by our dear friends from across the pond and put a comma outside the closed quotation marks.
