Eats, Shoots & Leaves is an interesting & funny book. I gave it to an English major friend - who is a real stickler for correct grammar & usage - while she was recuperating from surgery (vs. the usual flowers deal); she loved it.

I got a 92%. But I beg to differ, since the one I missed could be interpreted 2 different ways! ;-P "Of course, there weren't enough tickets to go around."

I loved that book! Hard to figure how a book about grammar could be good but it really was. jor
