"'Of course I punctuate my text messages, I did A level English,' one young man explained, with a look of scorn. Evidently an A level in English is a sacred trust, like something out of The Lord of the Rings. You must go forth with your A level and protect the English language with your bow of elfin gold." - Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

I don't know whether to be amused or mortified. Amused because hey, it's funny, and mortified because... that's me, with my A level English and my aversion to bad grammar. Oh dear.

On a related note, it's a good book.
