My all-time favourite read is 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss. Wonderful, humorous stuff.
(But, I am a pedant and actually get a stabbing pain in my heart as I read - It's for its, or potato's for potatoes etc.)
I think people are more likely to make those kinds of errors than putting a comma incorrectly in a sentence.
Sorry, I must be blind, I missed the 'bold' mission! I will go away and see what I can do.
Pinched this from Lynne Truss's book
"No dogs please".......which we have all seen in public parks.
She points out that without a comma this statement is an out-right lie, since some dogs obviously do please.
