Title: There is nothing worse than intellectual arrogance
Product review: I read this book with no expectations. I'm always willing to learn a few things I should have absorbed in school but wasn't paying attention that day. I laughed out loud several times and got all the way to the end without being bored, not even a single time.It is amazing to me how anyone could be so stuffy and erudite to pan this book. It's a punctuation book delivered with a light-hearted approach, for Pete's Sake.I'm actually something of a stickler myself. I can spot a misspelled word on a page instantly. It's a gift and a curse. But grammar/punctuation elitists who think this book has no value are simply the biggest boors. To these I say, exhale already. In this rapidly declining culture where written and spoken communication is being abandoned for coded shorthand, to think that someone [Lynne Truss] has made an effort to say it in layman's terms to keep language alive, should be a reason to break out in applause.
