The Semicolon is Not a Surgical Procedure.


As an unofficial member of the apostrophe posse, I was thrilled to hear that the oft overlooked and misused matter of punctuation is actually celebrated today with National Punctuation Day.

There's a great book called, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss , but if you don't have time to read it, here's a fun game you can play instead.

Be sure to check out this site from the UK.

If the English language made any sense, a catastrophe would be an apostrophe with fur.
~Doug Larson, British Olympic Gold Medalist, 1924
