Can you guess what I've been reading?
Ok folks, I'll give the punctuation a rest after this last entry.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you have even a passing interest in writing or the English Language, Lynne Truss will crack you up repeatedly.
One final quote:
As Joseph Robertson wrote in an essay on punctuation in 1785, "The art of punctuation is of infinite consequence in writing; as it contributes to the perspicuity, and consequently to the beauty, of every composition."
P.S. Yes, this is how I pass slow days at work. Don't you wish you were me?

That's one I've been wanting to get for my own office, actually.
