| Sep 22, 2018 at 21:32 | comment | added | user27343 | I should only be concerned with using commas in a series between elements while remembering to include the Oxford comma. Whether or not the last item in the series is set off from the rest of the sentence depends on the actual sentence. | |
| Sep 22, 2018 at 21:28 | comment | added | user27343 | Thank you! So just to clarify, this particular sentence requires the comma to set off the parenthetical non-essential information. However, that does not mean the last item in a series must ALWAYS be set off if the sentence continues after the series. | |
