You might have misread the text? I see something different in the “Celebrating Ohio and America’s 250th birthday”, which I read as celebrating:
1. Ohio overall 2. America’s 250th
page is now 404, this one still works https://cdn.saffire.com/images.ashx?t=ig&rid=OhioStateFair&i...
Without the Oxford comma, it was the most reasonable way to read it.
You would never put an Oxford comma in a list of two items
Exactly. If someone says, “I’m running to the grocery and McDonald’s drive-thru,” no one assumes they are sharing a drive-thru…
Pedantic HNers might...
For real there is no single collection of online pedantry more pedantic than HN.
Actually, before HN there was Usenet which I assure you, as I know everything, was much more pedantic than HN ever was.
It actually says “celebrating Ohio and America’s 250th” (not Ohio’s) so this works ok
Amusingly, there are 18 stars in the header banner of the poster. Missed opportunity!
Ohio, not Ohio's
