A very informative, but hella slow, book. Crystal is extremely knowledgeable as always, but punctuation is NOT my favourite bit of language/linguistics. So it was my sun and coffee book for most of late summer.

Dr Crystal defends the noble semicolon
This book is good, but hooooly shit so slow. As you can see. I normally finish Crystal's books in a day or two.
Technically this is from insta, but in case there are any #boblmaf-members here: #septemberbocker.
Jag har postat så jäfla många bilder på boken jag läser just nu att det knappast behövas fler.
#Bokfika at Starbucks today, as my stomach decided I can't have coffee. Chocolate frappuccino it is.
"Comma: a small crooked point. " I died.
I had an epically shitty commute, and rewarding myself with coffee and book for not choking anyone
I don't have a copy of this book, but I need one! It was excellent and started me on my David Crystal fandom 😆
#anditsaugust day 23: punctuate
A great book about punctuation for the curious language buff. Includes discussion of current Internet punctuation and how to teach punctuation in a way that helps people use it confidently and knowledgeably. Off to read Crystal's other books now!
