Dogs don't please me so often.
"...And readers grow so accustomed to the dwindling incidence of commas in public places that when signs go up saying 'No dogs please,' only one person in a thousand bothers to point out that actually, as a statement, 'no dogs please' is an indefensible generalization, since many dogs do please, as a matter of fact; they rather make a point of it."
(Eats, Shoots & Leaves p. 81)
Punctuation humor makes me giggle sometimes.
Since I've started reading this book, I've been looking at signs and noticing grammatical errors more often. As a person that is deeply bothered by public displays of stupidity, this only serves to make the world a more painful place to experience. But I don't think punctuation determines whether a person is stupid or not, just a statement. I find it awesome whenever I racist or otherwise generally ignorant person a website, and their comments are incredibly poor in grammar and spelling. It reflects the lack of intelligence in their statements almost poetically.
Mmm-hmm.
