Punctuation is important
I really laughed when I saw this mispunctuated news story from the website of the Clear Lake Citizen, which reports news from the Clear Lake area of suburban Houston, Texas, where I went to high school. Emphasis mine. A long-running feud between El Jardin neighbors is being blamed in a triple shooting that resulted in the death of one woman and sent two men to the hospital Saturday night. ...
Curtis Shaw said he was in his house when he heard gunshots. "It was just unbelieveable." He knew the two couples were feuding "but you never would have thought it would come to this," he said.
"I am shocked I've been living here 12 years," said neighbor Julie Karanik.
Yes, it took a triple shooting for her to wake up and realize what a dump she was living in. technorati: Clear Lake Labels: Clear Lake
