In honor of Ann

When Amy and I have children someday, they will know English grammar. If they don't admire the order it brings to our written language, they will at least know how to avoid syntactical anarchy. I'm enthusiastic about the usefulness of grammar as a result of writing philosophical papers and studying dead languages, from punctuation to noun-pronoun agreement. I'm also cognizant of the proper use of English grammar. Amy also knows the wonder of grammar. From what I've been able to tell, I should thank Ann for this. I've heard that Ann always pointed out missing commas and apostrophes on everything from signs and advertisements to cakes. Therefore, in honor of Ann I quote and link an article about the Apostrophe Protection Society.

"This is why Truss started the Apostrophe Preservation Society. In her rather militant way, she pickets businesses that have apostrophe errors in their signage. Off she goes with a great big apostrophe on a stick and marches around in front until the business owner is shamed into correcting his punctuation."

(Hopefully I don't have any grammatical errors in this post. If so, take them as irony.)
