To this day I use it and refuse any other option.
My company has standardized document templates and none of them have Oxford commas. I will go through and add them any time I have to use one.

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....
You got room on that hill for one more?
I've never heard it pronounced like that, and I live somewhere notorious for bad pronunciation. Is there another similar word pronounced like him-all-ee-an in your local accent?

Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.
Except where trams are involved. Those have a license to kill.
