“To my parents, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.”
That book dedication is acceptible according to the AP style sheet, but not by me.
This sentence cost a Canadian company over $2 million:
“[This agreement] shall continue in force for a period of five years from the date it is made, and thereafter for successive five year terms, unless and until terminated by one year prior notice in writing by either party.”
All of which is by way of saying,
Happy National Punctuation Day!
