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.
