I’d wager that many of us involved in technical work over-punctuate and over-think our writing because we’re very precise. As Mosher himself said, the punctuation is like saying that the murdered was right-handed: it narrows the suspects but it’s not conclusive at all. Please, let’s focus on the accumulated evidence. Maybe Gleick will get mentioned in the next edition of “Eats, Shoots and Leaves”. Those who hate science, fear science, or are afraid that if climate change is real Lies, misrepresentations, and a bible for climate change deniers But no one commented on Gleick’s comma punctuation in that review, which was observed to match the forged memo. His review of Donna Laframboise had been derided at Judy Curry’s because it showed no evidence that Gleick had actually read the book. Parallels were then sought in Gleick’s unedited comments and didn’t take long to find. The more extreme AGW communicators such as Romm, Trenberth, and Hansen Other groups capable of rapidly mobilizing responses to new scientific findings, news stories, or unfavorable blog posts Through his Forbes blog and related high profile outlets, our conferences, and through coordination with external networks In the critical paragraph of the forged Confidential Memo, there are no fewer than three distinct examples of Gleickian commas: Mosher noticed the distinctive comma punctuation of the forged memo once he started looking at the memo for “high-entropy” characteristics and reported this finding in his first comment at Lucia’s, which fingered Gleick as the author of the forged memo.

Had the manual been written by Peter Gleick, the manual would have read “eats, shoots, and leaves”. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. ‘Read the manual.’ The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. ‘Well, I’m a panda,’ he says, at the door. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. ‘Why?’ asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons. The title of the book is based on the following joke:Ī panda walks into a café. Lynn Truss‘ book on punctuation “ Eats, Shoots and Leaves” received astonishing coverge.
