the book has punctuation errors??

Its a bit up its arse in places. It can sound a bit elitist and sanctimonious at times. Cut through that though and its very useful.
I refer to it quite often when clients give me dodgy copy.

i remember hearing a review on NPR a couple of years ago. I think I actually wrote the title down but I'll be damned if I didn't forget all about it until now.
thanks jaline.

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy – will you let me be yours?

I know of a story where a guy sent in a couple of terse letters to London Underground as to Why Earl's Court Station had an apostrophe and Barons Court (the next stop) hadn't.
It's not called English for no reason you know
