[@pugbutter] Using an Oxford Comma is not an instance of a comma splice, those are two very different things (from my understanding). Comma splicing is inserting a comma where one shouldn't be: there's no grammatical reason for it to be there; it is used instead of a semi-colon; it is used instead of a full-stop. An Oxford Comma has a purpose, though, whether you choose to utilize it or not, it is up to the individual. And what was the correct homophone for "ease" in that example? ...I'm so confused. My only guess would be "eke." But those are hardly (not) homophones.
