一隻貓熊走進一家咖啡館。 他點了一個三明治，吃了它，然後拔出一把槍，向空中開了兩槍。 “為什麼？” 當貓熊走向出口時，困惑的服務生問道。 貓熊製作了一本野生動物手冊，並把它扔過他的肩膀。 “我是一隻貓熊，”他在門口說。 “查一下。” 服務生轉向相關條目，果然找到了解釋。 ““Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal. Native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.” ⬅️（在正確標準符號裡應該是：Native to China. Eats shoots and leaves.”吃嫩根與樹葉，但因為標點符號使用錯誤就變成：吃、開槍s、離開）
因此，標點符號確實很重要，即使它只是偶爾生死攸關的問題。

2003年，Lynne Truss出版了《Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation》。 這本書在英國取得了巨大的成功，在暢銷書排行榜上排名第一，並引發了非凡的頭條新聞，如“Grammar Book Tops Bestseller List”（BBC News）。 這本書是為那些喜歡標點符號並在處理不當時感到不安的人準備的。 上述段落印在封底上。

fuss 忙亂，小題大作，大驚小怪

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. 

“Why?” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. 

The panda produces a badly punctuated加標點符號 wildlife manual手冊 and tosses扔 it over his shoulder.

“I am a panda,” he says, at the door. “Look it up.” 

The waiter turns to the relevant相關聯 entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 

“Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal. Native to China. Eats, shoots嫩枝 and leaves樹葉(leaf的複數).” 

So, punctuation標點符號 really does matter, even if it is only occasionally偶爾 a matter of life and death. 　　

In 2003 Lynne Truss published Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation標點符號. 

The book became a runaway success in the U.K., hitting number one on the best-seller lists and prompting extraordinary headlines such as “Grammar Book Tops Bestseller List” (BBC News). 

This is a book for people who love punctuation標點符號 and get upset when it is mishandled.
