Funny we should be talking about grammar, I got a hold of "Eats, Shoots and 
Leaves" the other day and was reading it on the nice long flights back from 
San Francisco to Edinburgh yesterday/today. Such sentences and reasons for 
them featured heavily; it's most interesting. Plus, I'm generally rather a 
pedant when it comes to grammar, particularly such things as apostrophes 
(there's a most annoying shop nearby called "Bedding, Bit's and Bob's" - I 
cringe every time I walk past it), so it made for an interesting read.
