A book titled "Eats shoots=20= and leaves" is a good, slightly funny, way  
to polish up your grammar -- I would reccommend it to even native  
English speakers. It gets it's name from a joke where a panda bear is &n= bsp;
described in an encyclopedia as an animal that "eats shoots and  
leaves" and then the bear "eats, shoots, and leaves" in a restuarant &nb= sp;
or bar. Without the commas, the shoots and leaves are what it eats. &nbs= p;
With the commas shooting and leaving are also things it does.

And I think I've typed long enough...

mu'o mi'e .aleks.


If we're going to be extremely picky, then...
/reccommend/recommend/
/It gets it's name/It gets its name/
/restuarant/restaurant/

"Eats shoots and leaves" is a very good book for grammar nazis.
