"Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules!"
Many people love the popular little primer, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. I am not one of them. It was all about following the rules of grammar, and that right there should be enough to know why I tossed out my copy. I did not care for Mr. Lynne's snooty, 'I'm so smart,' tone, the 'let’s kill those who use bad grammar' attempts at humor or the dire, 'English is doomed,' predictions. No, sir, I did not like it one bit.
Turns out, I’m not alone.
