I'd forgotten that if you edit a post with a poll in it, the poll goes away. Damn. Twenty people had already responded. I am going to repost the post:

tenacious_snail lent me Lynne Truss's book on punctuation, Eats, Shoots & Leaves. (My favorite quote so far: "Sticklers, unite! You have nothing to lose but your sense of proportion, and arguably you didn't have much of that to begin with.")
So, herewith a poll.
[Poll #435844]
I refuse to do a "clicky thing": this poll is enough of a piece of fluff as it is, and the trend has gotten out of hand, anyway.
By the way, I realize that, given the nature of the poll, I am bound to have made grammatical and spelling mistakes in this post. C'est la vie.
[Edit: it has been pointed out to me that I have omitted at least two punctuation marks: the ellipsis (...) and parentheses. It also occurs to me now that I have left out the hyphen, dash, tilde, and quotation marks, both single and double. My apologies to the partisans of these wonderful pieces of lexigraphical art.]
