Did you ever need to take a variable with a number of strings and create a grammatically correct comma separated string out of it? If so, here's the function for you! The input can be a array of strings or a cell array of chars; the output will be a string with commas, an and, and even an Oxford comma! Some examples:

output = oxfordJoin(["Yesterday","Today"])
output =
"Yesterday and Today"

output = oxfordJoin(["Yesterday","Today","Tomorrow"])
output =
"Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow"

output = oxfordJoin({'Yesterday','Today','Tomorrow','Next Year'})
output =
"Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, and Next Year"
