Description
The trouble with punctuation - well, one of the troubles, anyway - is that too many of the experts suggest leaving it to the writer's judgement. What use is that if you've simply never been taught the difference between a colon and a semicolon, or where those wretched apostrophes go?
Help a Thief! is a bit more helpful, clarifying the rules that do exist and setting out the options where the choice is yours. It expresses a view on what does and doesn't matter; what you can get away with and what simply won't do; and whether the use of emojjis makes the world a better place or shows that it is going to hell in a handcart.
