Suggestion from a Reader

One of my readers suggested I explain the uses of the apostrophe, but it is not my aim to teach any aspects of grammar and punctuation per se, for readers generally don’t want that. However, I will recommend once again that exceptionally excellent little book called Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss. The error in the title is about commas, but the book is more about apostrophes. And it’s funny. It was a huge best seller in this country and the British author came here to talk about her book (and sell it, of course). It’s a book writers (and everybody else) ought to embrace with appreciation. Do you like pandas? Read here about their eating, shooting & leaving.
