Eats, Shoots & Leaves is an amusing read, but as an actual guide, I found it to be too inflexible to be useful. Thankfully, notsosaintly has found the answer to it here. I absolutely must rush to the bookstore tomorrow. I hope they have it.

It reminds me of English for Runaways, which causes never-ending giggles for German/English speakers. One-wall-free language, yup.

I have never read "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves," but I am currently reading "Sin & Syntax" and I am in love. I've never really taken the time to read grammar/style manuals, but I think it is possibly better than eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.

LOL brilliant, I say

And sadly, some people swear by "Eat, Shoots, and Leaves..."

I'm like, "It's not reputable, it's some chick entertaining us with her opinions on grammar."
