"You don't need to be a grammar nerd to enjoy this one... Who knew grammar could be so much fun?" - Newsweek "Witty and instructive...

Eats Shoots & LeavesForeword by Frank McCourt Publisher's Note Preface Introduction--The Seventh Sense The Tractable Apostrophe That'll Do, Comma Airs and Graces Cutting a Dash A Little Used Punctuation Mark Merely Conventional Signs Bibliography
Synopsis
We all know the basics of punctuation. Or do we? A look at most neighborhood signage tells a different story. Through sloppy usage and low standards on the internet, in email, and now text messages, we have made proper punctuation an endangered species. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves , former editor Lynne Truss dares to say, in her delightfully urbane, witty, and very English way, that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, this lively history makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with.

    I recently purchased a Bengals Rookie sports card on eBay and was thoroughly impressed by the seamless experience. The seller's description was spot-on, the card was well-protected during shipping, and it arrived earlier than expected. The seller made navigating and purchasing a breeze. I'm beyond satisfied with my purchase and the high level of service provided. Highly recommend eBay for finding and securing the best sports card treasures!

  • How cell-texting killed writing

    In England 🇬🇧 oratory skills are paramount to argue cases before the courts. Here, it seems writing a persuasive brief is indispensable. Texting and messaging has has destroyed both. We avoid speaking and penmanship is no longer being taughtnin schools. We have absolutely no regard for sentence structure, capitalization, punctuation such as the period, contractions and the possessive. Formal letter writing has declined. What the author has done is refresh our recollections of what is, and what is not acceptable. Many of us take this for granted until we read the impenetrable though sometimes poetic lyrics written for rap music which very often mimics the sound of slang words and their odd juxtaposition in the narrative. The real shame, of course, is we are raising a generation of ...

  • Clever title that expresses clearly what the content is about.

    A good review on how to correctly use punctuation in the English language. Especially in this age of the dopes our government run schools are turning out.
