\"In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Lynne Truss dares to say that, with our system of punctuation patently endangered, it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them for the wonderful and necessary things they are. If there are only pedants left who care, then so be it. \"Sticklers unite\" is her rallying cry. \"You have nothing to lose but your sense of proportion - and arguably you didn't have much of that to begin with.\"\" \"This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset about it. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to Sir Roger Casement \"hanged on a comma\"; from George Orwell shunning the semicolon to Peter Cook saying Nevile Shute's three dots made him feel \"all funny\", this book makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with.\"--BOOK JACKET.
