You're wrong.
Read nbroyal's response above as to why. A, b and c is quite grammatically clearly a list.
It may be unclear if you are not a native English speaker, but it is grammatically unambiguous.
Eats, shoots and leaves.
- nitrogen 14y agoMaybe there is some regional variation in how unambiguous this construct is. I can easily interpret your final sentence, "Eats, shoots and leaves," as saying that "eats" (n) are shoots (as in bamboo shoots) and edible leaves.
- Stefan_H 14y agoIf you initially parse everything after the comma as the aside, you then have only the fact that "two onlookers" is not something that George coul be to allow you to understand the sentence.
