G'morning Heather,
MM> The cat was last seen airborne ... "catapult".
HL> That cat is probably Roadside Pizza from that incident.
Doesn't bear thinking about...
On a more serious note, there was a review recently in the NZ
Listener about a book on apostrophes which intrigued me.
Coincidentally, I read on fidonet this morning that...
"I've started reading a popular book on punctuation and the
abysmal state of its use, given to me by a friend of mine, "Eats,
Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. Encouraged by her book, people
sent her examples of idiotic punctuation. One -- sent in by a
Shakespearian actor -- was a sign that said, "Children Drive
Slowly". The resulting brouhaha prompted the town to revise the
sign.
It now reads, "Children, Drive Slowly"."
Thank god none of this people have been here in NZ, where our
dyslectic traffic engineers paint on the road such stirring
messages as "WAY GIVE" and "CHILD THAT MIND" !
:-)
[Mmm ... might they be using Te Road Reo ?]
