btw... I checked out that book [Eats, Shoots, and Leaves]
some years ago, and thought it was lame or below-average.
>>> That is a very common reaction to it. While it was a
massive bestseller, [Eats, Shoots & Leaves] faced heavy criticism
from linguists and readers who found it pretentious, overly rigid, and
ironic.
I thought the writing was lame--- It didn't have the wit or
concision of Strunk (and White).
>>> That makes perfect sense, and you hit on exactly why so
many people find Truss's book frustrating. Comparing Eats, Shoots &
Leaves to Strunk and WhiterCOs The Elements of Style highlights a
massive gap in quality and philosophy.
Why Strunk and White Succeeds (and Truss Fails)...........
