Subject: RE: BS: Garbled Syntax
That's the title of a very funny English usage book by Lynn Truss. (I can recommend it) Another example of incorrect punctuation is the sign outside a barber's shop: "What do you think? I'll shave you for nothing!" Which should have read: "What? Do you think I'll shave you for nothing?"
