As in, "I'm wondering with bated breath how the Zed will perform at autoX ".

I found this an interesting read.

I love it when I learn something new each day.

Somewhat along those lines, I've got Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation on reserve at the Library. I've gotten sloppy with my punctuation & grammar, and this one might be a good refresher.
