tree..oh..in case you take the v. as n.
it's said to be comical and about written english, about punctuation
specifically..
"the zero tolerance approach to punctuation" that's the left or the right half
title.
hopefully it can repair my insensitivity toward semicolons. |

发帖数: 1617 | 2 I heard it once in our class. Maybe my teacher recommended it to us. It must
be an interesting and useful book for your witten English. :)
"Eats Shoots & Leaves", when there is no comma between the words, then the
meaning is different.
I got a website which provides some simple excercises.:)

发帖数: 195 | 15 another version of the joke is a panda went to a restaurant and ordered
some meal. When he finished it, he fired a gun to the sky and stood up, about
to leave. The puzzled waiter asked the panda what's going on? The panda
took out a dictionary and point to the entry: "Panda: A bear-like animal,
eats, shoots and leaves."
