Read about a new grammar and punctuation book that's doing well in England and is coming out next year in America -- Lynne Truss's Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. It's a humorous book, apparently; even the title is based on a joke: A panda goes to a bar, gets a sandwich, shoots a gun and starts for the door, and the bartender asks him why he did all that. The panda throws an error-ridden wildlife book at him and says, "Look me up." The bartender finds "Panda" and reads, "Eats, shoots and leaves."
Sounds like something some of us might enjoy.
