Description:
The triumphant concluding volume in David Crystals classic trilogy on the English language combines the first history of English punctuation with a
complete guide on how to use it. Behind every punctuation mark lies a thousand stories. The punctuation of English, marked with occasional
rationality, is founded on arbitrariness and littered with oddities. For a system of a few dozen marks it generates a disproportionate degree of
uncertainty and passion, inspiring organizations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and sending enthusiasts, correction-pens in hand, in a
crusade against error across the United States. Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit, clarity, and commonsense.
In David Crystals Making a Point, he gives a fascinating account of the origin and progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one and a half
millennia and offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion and context.

I like history and grammar, so this was an interesting book for me.Making a Point: The Persnickety Story of English Punctuation
