Puctuative resurgence.

An article in the New York Times can be found here; I hope it will be illustrative and useful in your daily existence. I particularly enjoyed the correction to this punctuation-themed piece, which follows:

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: February 19, 2008
An article in some editions on Monday about a New York City Transit employee’s deft use of the semicolon in a public service placard was less deft in its punctuation of the title of a book by Lynne Truss, who called the placard a “lovely example” of proper punctuation. The title of the book is “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” — not “Eats Shoots & Leaves.” (The subtitle of Ms. Truss’s book is “The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation.”)



In other news, I hope you'll get a chance to see the lunar eclipse tonight! 8:43 pm ET is when it starts; check your local listings for updates.
