[gameprogrammer] Re: Dark Basic

Hey Jake,

That's a little harsh!  He's only 17 and I am sure he's far too eager
to get his game working than to worry about commas and capitals.
(Does he really need an upper case H in "Here" following a comma?)  I
am more of a punctuation vigilante than anyone else I know and if this
was work related I would have pounced like a salmon.  Sometimes you
just have to let it slide.

However, if you really want to get your grammatical juices flowing
take a look on Amazon for a copy of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne
Truss who, in her book, confesses to standing outside the cinema at
the release of the film "Two Weeks Notice" with an apostrophe on a
stick.  Her zero-tolerance approach to punctuation makes for an
excellent read.

Regards

Richard
