| With Evelyn Waugh's dictum, 'Everyone has always regarded any usage but his own as either barbarous or pedantic.', planted firmly in her cheek, Truss takes on a rigorous, hilarious, expedition into the dark heartland of the current uses and, more importantly, abuses of punctuation in English writing today. Everything from menus to Lady Chatterly's Lover is covered in this always illuminating and frequently hilarious book. Apostrophes, commas, colons, semi-colons, full-stops etc. are all held up to the light & often found guilty of atrocious mis-application. A must for any one with an interest in putting finger to key or pen to paper. |
