Queen of Commas

Stand back for a war of words - and of commas, apostrophes and split infinitives. One of Britain's leading language experts has attacked Lynne Truss's bestseller Eats, Shoots and Leaves for its 'misconceived' and 'deeply unnerving' zero tolerance approach to punctuation.

So says the Guardian in an article about David Crystal, who calls Truss a member of the "linguistic fundamentalists." Sheesh! Those Brits can really sling the barbs, eh wot? I, for one, found Truss's book hilarious and her attitude refreshing. I've mentioned it several times in this blog, but unfortunately my online review disappeared with the Allconsuming.net website.
