If it's a matter of despair for you to see punctuation "chucked out as worthless by people who don't know the difference between "who's" and "whose", and whose bloody automatic 'grammar checker' can't tell the difference either", this is the book for you.

Journal Entry 4 by dutch-book at Heerenveen , Fryslân (Friesland) Netherlands on Friday, December 22, 2017
I didn't know I already had this book for three years.
I liked this book quite a lot. I've learned a lot and discovered I'm quite alright at punctuation. It also clarified some things, such as: should I use one or two quotation marks at the opening and ending of a quote? Two it is, which is more aesthetically pleasing to me, anyway. She also uses David Crystal as a source. He was the author of some of my study books when I studied English Language and Culture at university. That fact makes the author's story even more fun and believable (which is not quite the word I meant).
I must admit that there was a dog who took quite a liking to this book and tried to chew off a corner. The dog managed quite well. The book is still very much readable though, so I will put this book back into circulation.
