Book excerpt: Hi, Hope you enjoy my horrid Whoops Apostrophe findings WHOOPS in the title for the humour; ! in the title as there are lots of other errors in here, shock! Apostrophe errors are my favourite horror, but I have snapped so many othersand have chaptered them, to file similar types of errors together. I suppose that you could say some spelling errors are more typesetting mistakesbut hey somebodys to blame in there, every time! Plenty more in my mobile phones memory, and every day I see and capture morefor posterity!? In shop windows, in cafes, in businesses, in pubs; on cars, vans, on the TVin Scotland, England, Ireland; in Amsterdam recently, and all over Europe (and Turkey!). Australia Thought long and hard about adding witty and / or informative captions under many of the images, especially as regards locations; but in the final analysis decided to let the visual nature of the humour speak for itself! And oh I know its our modern worlds fault really, really? Technology - texting, e-mails, Facebookleads to phonetic spellings and not bothering with Capital letters Mobile phones especially - Ive got to press at least 6 times to even get to an ! Apostrophes dont seem even to be taught anymore either, certainly not in any continuous form. Smile, and learn? MLP (March 13) (Read any of MLPs BOYLE-BREATH series of books yet? Three so far; 4 and 5 on their way! All also published by authorhouse.com).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I said Id stopped, but here it is#6! Such a horrible life, isnt it? Walking by these word errors everywhere! Well, trying to walk/drive past them for me! I cant stop spotting them, though, and still I get off the bus / walk back / or drive to photograph them, record them for posterity. No one cares anymore, do they?! Bar me! Surely some governmental edict has to be passed to make sure that such horrors are against the law. Common law should deal with these oh-so-common mistakes! Give me the job (Whoops Apostrophe Terminator?) of going into these shops and reading the riot act? Every time that I have mentioned an error, I talk to people who just dont care and also look at me as if I were crazy! Maybe I am. Mistakes that I have been able to fix on my own are far too few. I have done it the odd time, on the sly, via chalk or by me rubbing out the mistaken parts of Ap. / Sp. errors (Buy WA #1#6). Sometimes they get it right even on their ownthere is one example inside! This is the last one. Enjoy!

Book excerpt: Hi, YES! here it is, my 4th, and probably my last, “WHOOP’S” collection of APOSTROPHE, SPELLING and other WORD-related errors. All photographed by my good self ‘in flagrante’ – possibly the best use of a mobile phone!! LAUGH, CRY, ENJOY...as you flick your way through my ‘usual suspect’ chapters... ‘Ap.’ and ‘Sp.’ obviously; ‘Just Weird’ of course; ‘One Wrong One Right’ definitely! And yes there is again an all too brief outline of ‘Wrong & Fixed’ and a 2x2 chapter of errors that remain all too the ‘Same’ (in Malaga & Amsterdam)! ‘Barcelona’ gets a very brief (2 Image) going over; ‘Firm’ mistakes continue; ‘Words’ shows even text and e-mails just don’t care anymore... Oh and there is a very special little chapter near the end entitled ‘The Stall’ where I stumbled into my own ‘Personal Jesus’ aka Heaven / HELL, and not very far away at all from where your intrepid photographer was BORN (in sunny Partick, Glasgow, Scotland) worse luck! Some final images say it all really, really!! BUY?! MLP (October 2014).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunday Times bestselling author Caroline Taggart brings her usual gently humorous approach to punctuation, pointing out what really matters and what doesn't. In Roman times, blocks of text were commonly written just as blocks without even wordspacingnevermindpunctuation to help the reader to interpret them. Orators using such texts as notes for a speech would prepare carefully so that they were familiar with the content and didn't come a cropper over a confusion between, say, therapists and the rapists. As we entered the Christian era and sacred texts were widely read (by priests if not by the rest of us), it became ever more important to remove any likelihood of misinterpretation. To a potential murderer or adulterer, for example, there is a world of difference between 'If you are tempted, yield not, resisting the urge to commit a sin' and 'If you are tempted, yield, not resisting the urge to commit a sin'. And the only surface difference is the positioning of a comma. So yes, you SMS-addicts and 'let it all hang out' Sixties children, punctuation does matter. And, contrary to what people who tear their hair out over apostrophes believe, it is there to help - to clarify meaning, to convey emphasis, to indicate that you are asking a question or quoting someone else's words. It also comes in handy for telling your reader when to pause for breath. Caroline Taggart, who has made a name for herself expounding on the subjects of grammar, usage and words generally (and who for decades made her living putting in the commas in other people's work), takes her usual gently humorous approach to punctuation. She points out what matters and what doesn't; why using six exclamation marks where one will do is perfectly OK in a text but will lose you marks at school; why hang glider pilots in training really need a hyphen; and how throwing in the odd semicolon will impress your friends. Sometimes opinionated but never dogmatic, she is an ideal guide to the (perceived) minefield that is punctuation.
