No, no, I really just...

Why is it that when "and" is there to end a list, the Americans put a comma before it?

It just doesn't make a lick of sense.

oh was it too difficult to just not put a comma there? "Oh no, we made a rule that 'and' must always have a comma before it, and we don't know what exceptions are so we're just gonna put one there cause we're so big brain and smart, and we think that it makes sense to put it there."

Commas are meant to separate things, when making a list, the "and" is put there to group those two things together not separate them so it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

no, explain to me, give me one good reason to put a comma before the "and" at the end of a list. 

It CAN'T be just to make it easier to write and remember or whatever because it's really NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO JUST NOT PUT A COMMA THERE, IT'S NOT HARD TO REMEMBER!

I might actually go insane, I'm done, I'm done. I give up. I'll just write in British English and my teachers can suck it.
