      There seems to be a trend in journalism to avoid the word “and” and replace it with commas. I hate it.

      This is much more readable:

            It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It’s older than the majority of words you use. It isn’t a trend.

              Just curious;

              Can’t a style of writing specific to an industry be considered a trend? Or does it have to be a recent/popular fad to be considered as such.

                It implies something recently cropping up. The “trend” of the last thousand years is, like, your culture, or something. At some point it’s the norm and not an aberration.
