There is even a rather delightful publication for children called The Punctuation Repair Kit, which takes the line Hey! It's uncool to be stupid! - which is a lie, of course, but you have to admire them for trying.

The Punctuation Repair Kit is a charming children's book that playfully addresses the importance of proper punctuation. It uses the phrase "Hey! It's uncool to be stupid!" as a humorous starting point to engage young readers. While the statement itself is not entirely true, the book aims to instill pride in language and punctuation in a fun way, encouraging children to appreciate their writing skills.

Authored by Lynne Truss, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" emphasizes the significance of punctuation and its proper usage. Truss infuses humor and a sense of urgency into the subject, making it accessible and enjoyable for both children and adults. Her work successfully advocates for a more punctuation-conscious approach in everyday writing.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
