Book Description

문장 부호라는 심각한 주제에 대중이 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 격식을 차리지 않은 채 경쾌한 어조로 써내려간 흥미로운 책. 이 책은 영국에서 으로 선정되기도 했으며, 문법책으로는 드물게 50주 연속 베스트셀러 순위에 들었다.

I'm not quite sure what this says about me, but I found this book about punctuation rather amusing and enjoyable. I think you have to be what I've affectionately heard called a "grammar guru" to appreciate this book: someone who routinely finds (and gets frustrated) with punctuation, spelling, and grammar errors in books, letters, and Internet posts. If you're thinking "Hey, I resemble that remark!", then this book is for you. Or if you're just curious about the proper uses of the semi-colon, then you might find this book helpful. It's worth noting that the author, and content, are British, but as an American, I had no trouble following along; in fact, I felt that it added color (or colour) to the book. Be forewarned, though: you may find yourself paying a lot more attention to the punctuation you use, after reading this book.

Is this helpful?
