I soaked up Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss in one happy sitting yesterday. I want to re-write everything I've ever written; to embrace the poor unappreciated semi-colon, replace double-hyphens (lazy keyboard technique to blame) with proper dashes and perhaps delete a few dozen of my extraneous ellipses (…). I'm tempted, inspired even, to lose my no-capital-letters habit. (!)
