Description

Help a Thief! And Other Misadventures in Punctuation by Caroline Taggart is a gently humorous guide to punctuation that will make you think about your usage. The author points out what matters and what doesn't, explaining why using six exclamation marks where one will do can be perfectly acceptable in a text, but may lose you marks at school. Caroline Taggart brings her expertise on grammar, usage and words generally to this subject, offering an engaging and readable approach that is both opinionated and never dogmatic. She covers topics such as the difference between a colon and a semicolon, where apostrophes go, and how using punctuation can make a big difference in your writing. This book is ideal for word nerds, students taking standardized tests, or anyone looking to brush up on their grammar in a fun way.
