What am I reading now?
Glad you asked.
It's a book about punctuation. However, because the decision was made not to Americanize the Stateside edition, the punctuation is all "wrong" in the eyes of the average Yankee copyeditor.

No. No proof there.
Because ANY alien would be at least as confused by our punctuation habits as we are.

What do the British know about our language! If it weren't for a lot of brave men and women, we'd all be speaking English!

Think we're divided by a common language? Check out Germany sometime. The northern dialects and the southern dialects do not exhibit a great deal of mutual intelligibility.
