| Introduction | I abandoned a law degree when I realised the words involved were just a little dull. Offer, acceptance, defamation and tort just couldn't compete when lasciviousness, ribaldry, vengeance and dotage were on offer over in the Arts Faculty. I have a bit of a thing for choice words. I'm also finicky about punctuation, but I don't always get it right myself. In fact, I often get it wrong. I have some really bad punctuation habits, like the over-use and abuse of ellipses...I substitute them for colons, semi-colons, commas and full-stops willy-nilly. Please slap my wrist when you see me doing it. I live in Melbourne, Australia with my two daughters, two cats and one husband. In a former life, I worked as a corporate PR dogsbody. Ms Ellipsis and I use this space to post our thoughts on the English language "downunder". |
