Apparently grammar is love.
Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss:
" The main reason I recall this shameful teenage epiphany, however, is that in my mission to blast little Kerry-Anne out of the water, I pulled out (literally) all the stops: I used a semicolon. 'I watch television in a desultory kind of way; I find there is not much on,' I wrote. And it felt so good, you know. It felt fantastic. It was like that bit in Crocodile Dundee when our rugged hero scoffs at the switchblade of his would-be mugger, and produces a foot-long weapon of his own, 'Call that a knife? THAT'S a KNIFE.' "
I cannot believe I actually laughed inanely at this grammar book.
Absolutely love Lynne Truss.
