Title: An error in Eats, Shoots? Impossible!
Product review: Well, no, it ain't all that enlightening when it comes to teaching the rules of punctuation--you knows 'em by now or you doesn't--but it is pretty funny--hilarous, in spots--in Truss's rants about this and that example of iggerance or stoopidity in our pop culture. And she is to be commended for refraining from shooting fish in a barrel: there's not a single reference to the lapidary prose issuing daily from the mouths of POTUS.It seems impertinent to play Gotcha! with this paean to precision, but there persists, even in the 15th printing of Gotham's American edition, a pretty obvious error on page 124. Evelyn Waugh certainly knew that attachés work not in legislations, but in legations. Those who work at all, of course...Gotham won't accept e-mails, and I lost my spray can somewhere in the subway, so I am obliged to out them in this tawdry and commercial space. To err is human; to forgive, unsatisfying.
