BRILLIANT PANDA !       07/06/06 02:47 AM Edit Reply Quote cailin Reged: 08/12/04 Posts: 3563 Loc: Dublin, Ireland I LOVE your letter. I am really anal about that kind of thing too. It's very important as a lawyer to be that way. You should see some of the brochures and terms and conditions that come my way. Eats Shoots and Leaves is good to start with but is even too anal for me when talking about some things, like the dashes etc, I like dashes and was never taught how to use them. My brother is a journalist and his punctuation is appalling. Anytime he sends me an article to proof (often one that he has already submitted) I can't stop myself sending him back my corrections. Drives me crazy! I do over-use exclamation marks though, I know that I do in emails and posts, and Lynne Truss would not approve. She did teach me about "two weeks' notice" which has proved very useful in legal contracts. I would prefer that people don't punctuate at all rather than add in superfluous apostrophes. And don't even get me started on text language, I cannot understand emails that my younger sisters send me, I have to decipher before I can reply!
