Re:The Bard's Not Here Coffee Shop, New for 2008 - 02/18/2008
Mmm... a bit o' chococoffee sounds lovely... make it two if you don't mind, and can you talk with the herds of ghosts that are hogging all the tables?
Let's see if I can do this right. Link here > http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/18/nyregion/18semicolon.html?em&ex=1203483600&en=5618a854dadaa001&ei=5087%0A to a fun article about a minor hullabaloo over -- gasp! -- the correct use of a semicolon on public signage in the NYC subway.
I loved all the quotes by grammatical & linguistic experts. Sort of silly. And Noam Chomsky never changes.
Also loved Kurt Vonnegut's old quip about semicolons in general. 
edit: well, the link works, but it doesn't look pretty... was there some way to embed the URL that I couldn't figure out?
