Probably, out there punctuation marks are becoming almost extinct. Btw, aren't we allowed to drop letters to modify the language if it works. Isn't it a better choice to reconsider the 'ss's' rather than tongue twisting? (I enjoyed the Panda that eats, shoots and leaves.) But I agree with you, language would be on disablity pension if not for some English teachers struggling to rehabilitate it. Good job!
