Krátky popis
A biography of a much misunderstood punctuation mark and a call to
arms in favour of clear expression and against stifling grammar
rules Cecelia Watson used to be obsessive about grammar rules. But
then she began teaching. And that was when she realized that strict
rules aren't always the best way of teaching people how to make
words say what they want them to, that they are even, sometimes,
best ignored.One punctuation mark encapsulates this thorny issue
more clearly than any other. The semicolon. Hated by Stephen King,
Hemingway, Vonnegut and Orwell, and loved by Herman Melville, Henry
James and Rebecca Solnit, it is the most divisive punctuation mark
in the English language, and many are too scared to go near it.But
why? When is it effective? Have we been misusing it? Should we even
care? In this warm, funny, enlightening and thoroughly original
book, Cecelia Watson takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the
surprising history of the semicolon and explores the remarkable
power it can wield, if only we would stop being afraid of it.
Forget the rules, you're in charge. It's time to make language do
what you want it to.
