Correct Punctuation
I saw this today and thought it was pretty cool:
Quote:
It reminds me of the book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves". |
Very entertaining.
|
Reminds me of the famous book dedication error:
"To my parents, Ayn Rand and God." |
:) That's great, GC!
I can't really talk about bad punctuation though when I have plenty to brush up on. Writing more lately, I am realizing that my grasp (while certainly better than some), is still sorely lacking. I'm sure there is probably 3 or more mistakes in this post alone. The uncertainty bugs me to no end and I need to fix it. Anyone have any suggestions for a book or two that might help? |

Oh, and while it makes an excellet example, "To my parents, Ayn Rand and God" is apocryphal.
|
I'm also a firm believer in the serial comma. Similar to Ayn Rand is the example Lani always gives for why it is important:
"My favorite people in the world are my parents, the Pope and Mother Teresa." |
I like ee cummings no punctuation at all

Kind of reminds me of
Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.." |

This too is apocryphal. Doesn't it suck when all the things we know turn out to be lies our teachers taught us? |
And there's George Carlin's fake TV show about a National Park worker and his special friend:
Ranger Dan and his big dog Dick. or Ranger Dan and his big dog-dick. |
