Huge thank you to my friend Karen who sent along this link to a New York Times article. It's possible only big writing geeks (sorry, Karen) like us would get a kick out of it. "Celebrating the Semicolon in a Most Unlikely Location" is a full story about semicolon use on New York City Transit signage. It's fantastic—both the article and the agency's use of punctuation.

In an even geekier twist of irony, the article quotes "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" author Lynne Truss but mispunctuates the title of her book. If you've read that book—and you really need to, because it's not often a book about punctuation can make you laugh out—you know why proper placement of the comma in the title is so important. The New York Times did realize its error and run a correction.

It's just a good day for punctuation humor.
