If anyone wants an update: I've had to start using colons. I fucking hate colons. They're the sort of thing that pricks use for lists. I don't write lists. But the semi-colon started colonising everything (you'll note the irony), the hyphen started - annoyingly - being a surrogate comma, round parentheses are just guileless shit and I'm not French so I can't use commas all the time. Of course, the hyphens are great for compoundnounery, but you don't want them all over the show.
I, syntagmatic nomad.
Also, if anyone wants to brush up on grammar, David Crystal's 'Rediscover Grammar' is indispensable.
Line of the day: '"designers of own-brand supermarket soap take note".
