I’ve added a new link section to my site – currently reading.
And like it says there, I am currently reading “Eats, Shoots And Leaves – The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation” by Lynne Truss.
Back cover:
A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. “Why?” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. “I am a panda,” he says, at the door. “Look it up.” The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China.Eats, shoots and leaves.”
So, punctuation really does matter, even if it is only occasionally a matter of life and death. This is the zero tolerance guide.
Good read! Highly recommended!
