Introduction - The seventh sense -- The tractable apostrophe -- That\'ll do, comma -- Airs and graces -- Cutting a dash -- A little used punctuation mark -- Merely conventional signs.
'Eats, Shoots & Leaves' adopts a militant approach to punctuation and attempts to recruit an army of vigilantes who will send letters back with the punctuation corrected, not accept sloppy emails, and climb ladders with pots of paint to remove redundant apostrophes from signs.
