I'm not sure if Steve & blackbird are the only American posting in this thread, but oh well... And we like gallons instead of litres...

Actually I'm Canadian,
which adds to the confusion.
Seeing how Canada is a Commonwealth country, and should follow the examples(most) the UK has set before us.

And I prefer litres much more than gallons.
Base ten is so much easier to understand.

As far as I've always been told, it's always the quotation mark at the end of the sentence. It takes priority over everything else.

Any moment, everything can change, Feel the wind on your shoulder, For a minute, all the world can wait, Let go of your yesterday. Can you hear it calling? Can you feel it in your soul? Can you trust this longing? And take control, Fly! Open up the part of you that wants to hide away! You can shine, Forget about the reasons why you can't in life, And start to try, cause it's your time, Time to fly. - H.D., Fly

They may not spell all that well over there, but they do know how to put a sentence together so that it makes sense.

So, why is "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" so popular and necessary over there?

I like reading stuff like that for the humour.
