I don't know if anyone ever saw the animated gif that was making the rounds a year or so ago about this title but it was quite amusing. It was a panda, eating, shooting a gun & leaving but of course the real essence of the title was when punctuation isn't used or is used incorrectly. Here's a link to a little quiz on that very self-same topic... http://eatsshootsandleaves.com/ESLquiz.html

Sigh Maris. Probably because you figured you would get 100% just like I did. At least you got in the 80's!

I got 92%, I did children's wrong, I made it childrens'. Stupid me, of course children is plural so therefore the s would show owership which would place the apostrope before the s. Tish, I need lessons from you.

Ll, I'd go to Tess if I were you. I admit to struggling often with restrictive and non-restrictive adjectives. In fact, Tess, you wanna grade these papers for me? They're giving me a headache.

92% stickler. Didn't think I'd score so high, but that was pretty easy.

It was pretty easy. But then, my manager often makes me take out commas in my writing that this quiz told me were correct. I still think I'm correct, but then I can see why she would want them removed. There were at least 4 instances where I thought, "She would tell me to not put in a comma here" in this quiz. (Maybe I should send her the link! )
