"why would they stop using this comma? is there a comma shortage causing them to ration their punctuation marks? i would gladly donate an extra comma or two if they really need it so that i can have more clarity in sentences with listed items."

well, that's just it...they still use it

there's no reason to stop using it...it may not always be necessary, and certainly not all lists need it, but when used properly, it is effective and necessary

I was just thinking a couple days ago that people never do this anymore. I will continue to use it. BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT.

Looks like Jon Hamm as the character Don Draper in AMC's Mad Men.
