Lynne Truss Quote
I have been told that the dying words of one famous 20th-century writer were, I should have used fewer semicolons – and although I have spent months fruitlessly trying to track down the chap responsible, I believe it none the less. If it turns out that no one actually did say this on their deathbed, I shall certainly save it up for my own.
