Re: Brainteaser for punctuation ped - 2004/01/07 02:04 Dear Judith,

O.K. Definitely not nicked:

Searching for an answer, the widow had it! Off on her motorbike to Scarborough, she cried "Bugger Bridlington".

Re-punctuate at your leisure.

I look forward to see'ing your answ'ers.

Lots of love,

Frankie. xxxxx :

Brainteaser for punctuation pedants - 2004/01/07 08:45 Perfick! Not only to the point - (and the comma, and the quotation marks etc), but ON TOPIC TOO You get a special award - I owe you a drink anyway.

But I wonder if I'll be the first to get it up here :

Searching for an answer, the widow had it off on her motorbike! “To Scarborough” she cried, “Bugger Bridlington”.

Can anyone make another version?

Judith

PS later : I've just acquired 'edit' rights, so I'll add:
I did also notice your errant - or even aberrant - apostrophes too, Frankie. Luv'n'kisses ~ J
