On the use of Punctuation

[ShadowHM]

If you like stuff like this, you should take a look through Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss.  The entire book is about punctuation (and no, it's not as boring as that makes it sound).

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.)
