Hello, Kevin, thank you for sharing your knowledge! If you've got some time, would you mind telling me which is correct: 1. I went to the market and bought bananas, apples and oranges, or 2. I went to the market and bought bananas, apples, and oranges. So... If until "apples"' we have a sentence, and "oranges" is not a sentence, then the fanboy AND doesn't take a comma, what makes number 1 the correct option... right?

Thank you very much you are the best 😊😊
