You mean "Eats, shoots and leaves". Note the subtle difference.

May be official soon Wynonie .. the new Oxford dictionary was launched this week with new entries, God forbid, like: hoodies ... informal, especially a youth wearing a hooded top and: plank .. stupid person..

AskOxford: New Words

Particularly like the new quotation book in August and look out for the Joan Collin's quote gals..

Homer makes it into the Oxford D'oh-ctionary with his quotable quips | the Daily Mail

Re: Haven't the press grammatial standards

Following on from the 'bitchermen' classic. There's a real howler in tonight's Telegraph on the jobs page. It's an ad for a vacancy to work in the promotions dept of the Telegraph, 20 hours a week, 25 days holiday, contributory pension scheme etc etc etc and finally,' own cat prefarable.'

The spelling and grammar of the imbeciles at the Telegraph will never cease to amaze me.
