Forgive us our tresspasses, when we admit them with humor…

From a correction posted to a Feb. 18, 2008, NYT Story, “Celebrating the Semicolon in a Most Unlikely Location”:

    “An article in some editions on Monday about a New York City Transit employee’s deft use of the semicolon in a public service placard was less deft in its punctuation of the title of a book by Lynne Truss, who called the placard a “lovely example” of proper punctuation. The title of the book is “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” — not “Eats Shoots & Leaves.” (The subtitle of Ms. Truss’s book is “The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation.”)”
