The format of the audio tapes is a radio interview along the lines of PBS's All Things Considered. Since the exchange was conversational they talked about the words rather than spell them. When talking about apostrophes they would say things like, "brothers apostrophe "S" or brothers "S" apostrophe". Monica That's probably it, Monica, because the humor is retained in the book. I laughed or chuckled a lot. But I'm curious -- how did the audio book handle the apostrophe section? Did it spell out the words used incorrectly in signs, for example, e.g., i t ' s and i t s, and B r o t h e r ' s vs B r o t h e r s ' ? Cindy BBC Audio has produced an audio book called, Eats, shoots and leaves cutting a dash - the radio series that inspired the hit book. I enjoyed it a lot more than the book. Perhaps I tried to read the book too fast and missed the subtle humor that made the audio book so much fun.
