I accidentally bought the book, "How to Choose the Right School for Dummies" instead of "How to Choose the Right School, for Dummies".
I keeled over with laughter, shrieking "Eats, Shoots & Leaves!"*, when I read this comment. Upon recovery, I wondered aloud to my husband why I thought it was so funny, and concluded that it just happened to be the kind of thing that was right up my personal humor alley, possibly partly because this kind of correction of single-comma errors comes up fairly often in my line of work. (Also: I am a nerd.)
"O, ye mighty comma!" I declared, then blinked and paused.
"Wait, no. 'Ye' is plural."
Blinked again, then looked up meaningfully.
"I rest my case."
(O, thou mighty comma!)
