Dear all this Christmas we have decided to challenge ourselves in ways we have never imagined. We have given up the comma which wasn’t all that hard I have to admit as most of the time it occurs at a natural pause in the sentence. We have also decided to recycle all of our natural waste and have acquired a kitchen composting unit that comes complete with a carbon filter so that our eating area does not become filled with the stench of neglected marks and spencer’s especially selected organic shrink-wrapped mushrooms or some other vegetable whose name escapes us. We could have really used a comma in that last sentence but are committed to our values and will not wilt in the face of common-sense or the demands of regular breathing. Just don’t ask us to assess the contribution of the semi-colon to any sensible debate. And do not expect any kind of answer on the various interpretations of the question mark or exclamation at the end of a sentence no matter what the length. Normally, people only make a sacrifice for Lent and Christmas is the time to let your hair down and relax. P., we are become Protestants or something worse. Love, T.
