I was always taught that, in a list, the commas belong as follows: item a, item b, item c, item d and item e. Of course, commas are extremely controversial in general around here - in college, a common complaint amongst all the professors was that Georgia public schools (K-12) teach an overuse of commas. (Weirder still, since moving to my current city in Georgia, I've discovered that everyone who grew up here learned the strangest capitalization rules I've ever seen. It's like they think they're German.)
