    Good examples and fact checking.
    I just found a few issues with your first example. Make sure that you spell everything correctly (grammatical) when you're pointing out errors and make sure the errors you point out are the correct ones to point out.
    In the sentence you used, the oxford comma isn't missing, that can be a choice of the author. AP style doesn't give a definite 'don't use this!' or 'do this every time!' about the oxford comma.
