On the use of Punctuation

[Occhidiangela]

Thanks for the reminder, Wyrm.   :)   I did read a review of that book when it came out, and made a mental note to acquire it.   Unfortunately, mental notes have a habit of vanishing.   :o

Another book I do own and like, for some of the same reasons, is Troublesome Words by Bill Bryson.    (I am a fan of virtually anything he writes, and The Mother Tongue is another of those interesting books about the idiosyncrasies of this wierd and wonderful language we use.)

Bill Bryson is a personal favorite. Have you read "A Short History of Nearly Everything?" Yet another master work from a master writer.

OBTW: Made in America is a lovely supplement to The Mother Tongue. :)
