Hello Geoff,
What a really good answer - I learned a thing or two from reading it!
There's a book called 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves' which is very helpful and entertaining, 
and I would suggest that anyone ought to take a good look through it (unless this 
has already been mentioned).

Long live the pedants!
