Publishers Weekly comments: [Lynne] Truss dissects common errors that grammar mavens have long deplored and makes elegant arguments for increased attention to punctuation correctness: “without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning.” Truss intersperses her lessons with bits of history (the apostrophe dates from the 16th century; the first semicolon appeared in 1494) and plenty of wit.
