Any writing book that can't get through the sub-title without committing a grammar error isn't an example that you want to follow. Better books on writing are easy to find.

There once was a lady named Truss
Who started a literary fuss;
Now known as the “Momma”
Of the overwrought comma,
My colon she sweetly may buss!

Dev I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. It's the kind of book you can read bits and pieces as you have time. I'm glad you were able to mooch it. I'm keeping my copy. I'm sure that I'll re-read it from time to time. Fyrefly I worry about that a little bit, too – especially with commas.

Should I be using a semi-colon instead? - and think I wound up over-correcting my writing and making it worse than it was originally. :) After reading Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, I got hyper-paranoid about my own writing – is that the right kind of dash?
