Se the importance of your commas kids? as per his statement, it looks like he is wishing @coralinecastell that both, God and some miss, bless this outstanding member of our community.
Just kidding btw, I hate grammar nazisā¦ and I just got out of a discussion with one in YouTube, so it was on my mind.

Weāre not at Oxford, they can keep their political strippers and just leave the rest of us alone. If I was talking about someone named Miss then I would clearly have capitalised the letter to differentiate between a name and a title.

Which is correct. I fail to see the problem here?

Itās not just about capitalizing here, itās also cuz there should have been a comma after āmissā

Not the way Iāve been taught English and sentence structure. Thereās several ways to skin a cat and some of them specifies to never use a comma with and.

That doesnāt make any sense whatsoever; the reason youād have to use 2 commas here is to set off the ādirect addressā of the āmissā in question
would u also say u donāt use a comma in a compound sentence then?
Iāve proofread using several different style guides (both internationally-accepted ones and in-house-specific ones, and both in AE and BE), and Iāve never seen what u just mentioned ever anywhere
You can choose whether to use a comma or not before āandā when listing several items if u wish y [I bought pears, apples(,) and bananas.] (which I guess is what u remember learning as u never use a comma in this case in BE, but u do in AE), and u also donāt use it before āandā when it sets of a dependent clause, but u have to use āandā when it sets off an independent clause (a new sentence within the same sentence), except when both clauses are quite shortā¦

Oxford comma > *

Thatās not really an Oxford comma thou, you need a list of at least three items, you are meant to put a comma between the second and the last, although sometimes itās omitted because the writer assumes the message is clear enough.
In this case, however, Iāve no idea what this comma is all about.

The comma here is used to set off āmissā, as she is being addressed directly. When you speak to a person directly, you set off the name of that person or their title or whatever you address them with using a comma before it and one behind it (unless it is the first or last word in the sentence of course).
As you said the Oxford comma is the example I gave where u list several things, and whether you use it or not is completely up to you or whatever style guide youāre followingā¦
As @Inferry pointed out, omitting the comma here changed the meaning of the sentence quite drastically.

Ye, I meant that I donāt know how this particular type of comma is called or if it has a name at all.
