Hi Jon Regarding the following rejected issues:(er) 31: File or -> File, or [jb: Serial comma only required in lists of three or more.]
(er) 53, 128, 281: weapon and -> weapon, and [jb: Compound verb does not require a comma.]
(er) 116, 290: If you possess a missile weapon -> If you possess a missile weapon, and sufficient ammunition to use it [jb: Serial comma only required in lists of three or more.]
(er) 347: Binoculars or -> Binoculars, or [jb: Serial comma only required in lists of three or more.]
I still think these commas should be implemented. They weren't reported as instances of serial comma use, they are for consistency with other similar phrasing in the books (e.g. If you possess the Kai Discipline of Hunting, or a Torch, . . . ; If you posses a Hunting Horn, and wish to use it, . . .). The commas set off a potentially parenthetical statement from the main flow of the sentence, e.g. If you possess x (and wish to use it), turn to xxx. Instead of parentheses, commas are quite properly used in the books, and should therefore be implemented in these instances. IMHO, of course. ;-)
