A terrific book by Lynn Truss discussing the importance of grammar while simultaneously giving the basic rules of punctuation. Truss does so in an entertaining way, and she actually makes grammar... fun. (Yes, grammar made fun. Now close your mouth; people are starting to stare.)
If this sentence makes you cringe, then this is the book for you:
"The every day mans mind was blown away when he discovred grammer and it's importance in todays soicety."

"I just finished reading the book Eats, Shoots and Leaves... and MAN, was I entertained!"
Example based on one of Lynn Truss's (double posessive, yes, I realize this):
I just got back from the park. There was a sign that said, 'No Dogs Please.' This is in fact untrue. Many dogs DO please! You can't steriotype dogs into all of the same category! That's just wrong.

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, and then draws a gun and fires two shots into the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a poorly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Get the Fucked the Town down and shook her arse at the ruins mug.ShookaFooka is a youtube channel the consisted of two brothers. The main one, Jacob, has bright red hair and is currently 9 years old. Codie, his little brother, has a brown bowl cut and is 7 years old.
The youtube channel consisted of the brothers fighting, screaming, crying, and various other baby-like characteristics. They type comments in all-caps.
The channel joined on November 1, 2013. Since then, the brothers have gotten hate from users for being "immature" and "unoriginal" and gay. Mainly because they comment on big youtubers saying that they copied them, and that they are suing them for copyright.
They have had two other previous channels that got deleted.
No one knows much about the two, all that is known is that are stupid kids, as that is the given.
