Freedom From Bad Writing!

I thought the currently popular book Eats, Shoots and Leaves was another fad diet, especially because the last person to mention it to me is rather chubby. Today I saw a reference to it with its subtitle in Biz Stone's June 30 blog entry. I'd found Stone's blog in a listing in the blog at blogads.com. I recognized the name from his writings in the Blogger News column at the Google-owned blogger.com. Whew! It's a small world in here.

Anyway, the subtitle is: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. I love it already! If I'd seen the title printed, I'd probably have guessed the book's subject. I've collected moronic headlines since my days on The Fort Pierce News Tribune (FL). Our favorite crime joke there was the story that ended with "and the bullet's in her yet!"

Available at Amazon, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation just moved to the top of my wish list.
