Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss

[samvara]

..and I have seen an essay on the internet seriously accusing John Updike, that wicked man, of bending the rules of the comma to his own ends "with fragments, comma splices, coordinate clauses without commas, ellipted co-ordinate clauses with commas, and more" - charges to which, of course, those of us with no idea what an ellipted-coordinate-clause-with-a-comma might look like can only comment, "Tsk".

OK so I'm the kind of person who reads books on punctuation, but Yea Gods this is funny.
