Alright. A reference book with some funny bits. I have marked the good grammatical bits.

Going Loco af Lynne Truss

I read this a few years ago and remember very little about it except the explanation of the title - a joke about a panda. This is the book that triggered off an avalanche of books about grammar and punctuation, and how they are misused today.
