[Rhodes22-list] Grammar

[Gregg J. MacMillan]

   Anyone with an interest in grammar should read:

   Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

   For a book about grammar, it is really quite entertaining.

   A panda walks into a café. 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'm 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.
