No, Sairey, it's her just arrogant personality that I can't stand. I just bought The Grammar Bible, and it looks like it's going to be more helpful.

No, not at all ... but she is British and they can come across that way even if they are not. Have you heard the audio "version" that she did? ... when you hear her speak you will know she isn't stuck up.
Actually, today I just saw a children's book about punctuation that she wrote (with illustrations by someone else) ... it tells the Eats, Shoots & Leaves story in a more child-friendly fashion (panda comes into a library with a bow and arrows ...)

you would be marvelous with regard to the semi-colon, yet some authors (i do no longer be attentive to approximately Lynne Truss) steer away from semi-colons, or replace them with commas as a kind determination (like some human beings do no longer placed sessions after abbreviations or acronyms, this is considered incorrect in accordance to the English language in spite of the indisputable fact that that's broadly time-honored). yet you weren't unavoidably incorrect via putting a comma after 'shoots'. that's, lower back, a stylistic option to place a comma after the 2d get admission to of a three-merchandise checklist.

I think she comes across as a little stuck up. But I took the book as being funny.
