Weeks ago, I came to Amazon to purchase Eats, Shoots & Leaves (abridged review: mean and wrong). Their handy recommendations had me also buying I Could Care Less (simple review: boring) and this book, Between You and Me.Of the three, Between You and Me is the only one I like. Mary Norris obviously feels no need for mean-spirited comments about the illiteracy of those less educated on punctuation than she (like Eats, Shoots & Leaves). Instead, her comments about grammar and punctuation are matter-of-fact and kind. In many cases, she is telling how she learned a particular bit of grammar, spelling, or pronunciation trivia--it is an amusing fact about readers that we often have vocabularies full of words we've never actually heard spoken aloud. The technical bits are interspersed with stories from her life, making this a fun and amusing read. I'm enjoying this one a lot. It's exactly what I was looking for (and didn't find) when I bought the better-known title.

I surprised myself by purchasing (and reading) BETWEEN YOU & ME: CONFESSIONS OF A COMMA QUEEN, in which context “comma queen” is defined as a copy editor. Perhaps it was only my love for stringing words together that compelled me to do so. Perhaps I could learn in retrospect something of the mistakes I’ve been making all these years past.In the Introduction, author Mary Norris describes the evolution of her early life that finally deposited her in the niche profession of being a copy editor for “The New Yorker” magazine, a publication that always seemed too effete for my tastes growing up as I did on the West Coast. Mary then launches off on the evolution of dictionaries and their influence on spelling, the reputation of being witches that bedevils copy editors, the political incorrectness (or not) in the use of gender specific pronouns, and the common errors that befall writers in their use of hyphens, dashes, apostrophes, colons, and semicolons. Finally, she closes with perhaps the two most interesting chapters: the growing acceptability of obscenities’ use in everyday speech and writing ‒ especially the F-word, and the evolution of pencils, pencil erasers, and pencil sharpeners.The author closes with an utterly boring (for me) Epilogue on her attendance at a ceremony celebrating the bequest of a million bucks plus to a small town library by a long-serving copy editor of The New Yorker.Did I learn anything? I know now that I’ve probably misused the word “overall” (a one-piece work suit worn by painters) when I should’ve used “over all”, i.e. above all. Never again shall I err. Beyond that, I absorbed a statement by novelist James Salter quoted by Norris:“Punctuation is for clarity and emphasis, but I also feel that, if the writing warrants it, punctuation can contribute to the music and rhythm of the sentences. You don’t get permission for this, of course; you take the liberty.”Yes, indeed. Thank you.

BETWEEN YOU & ME REVIEWI love this type of book but get the puckers when I start to review it. The how-tos are here but it’s simply too late to correct my wayward word usage. I’ll just have to make do with my ingrained incompetence. Mary Norris, Comma Queen, please accept my apologies for the errors of my ways. But know that “Between You & Me” is one of the best of the help books I’ve read.Norris is one of those people: a copy editor with all the answers. But she’s not prickly. She knows what to do with grammar and punctuation; passing on her knowledge without snipe or snarl. Her explanations are clever, clear, and sometimes comical. The advice is practical and should be easily assimilated by even the biggest dolt. One doesn’t expect to have fun reading about punctuation, spelling, and usage. But this book is pure entertainment in its counsel with amusement on every page.The author is going to coach you on subjunctives, spoken versus written language, word breaks, compounds, pronoun gender, and other scary elements. Along the way she’ll touch on commas, colons, dashes, hyphens, semicolons, and other punctuation marks that we all know about. Or do we? If you let this frighten you away, you’ll miss some unforgettable examples of how to get it right.It would be a good idea for the censor cops at Amazon to read Chapter 9 with the earthy title of F*CK THIS SH*T. Norris discusses the use of profanity, decries its abolition, and, obliquely, takes a poke at Amazon’s hypercritical policy of bouncing reviews that have even a hint of impropiety. That practice has always been annoying to me. Amazon is a publishing giant that is willing to sell anything—erotica, rap music with explicit lyrics, sexual tools and potions, books with profanity in the title—but will not publish a review that even hints at bad language or contains veiled sexual banter.This is a must-have book for readers and writers. It might not improve your overall grammar and language skills, but it will make you appreciate that there are people out there who would have you to do better, who work hard at making it simple, and who should be listened to with an appreciative ear. Mary Norris. More than just a Comma Queen.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES
