Comma Wars

September 24 is National Punctuation Day in the U.S.

For a fun look at this topic, I recommend "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" by Lynne Truss.


You'll have to pry the Oxford comma from my cold, dead hands!

  1. If only grammar and punctuation was used properly. I know after Decades of being out of school, because I am not young anymore, I don't always do both correctly. But I do wish that I did it correctly.

  8. I try to use formal grammar and punctuation correctly unless I am writing dialog for a story. I may not always succeed, but I am always open to someone nicely pointing out a mistake.
