Since there are grammarians I suppose there are also puntuationarians (although my spell checker doesn't hold with that theory), or perhaps punctuation is considered a subset of grammar. So many questions.
At any rate, I am sure, whatever they are called, there are people concerned with punctuation who would be appalled at my use of three periods in the middle of a sentence in yesterday's post about grammar. Lynne Truss, the author of the book Eats, Shoots and Leaves: A Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation would probably have a cow
I admit to not finding punctuation a very exciting subject as long as the intended meaning of the sentence is conveyed without ambiguity or confusion.
