It’s National Punctuation Day!
Haven’t heard of it? National Punctuation Day honors and celebrates “…the lowly comma,correctly used quotes and other proper uses of periods, semicolons and the ever-mysterious [and ignored] ellipsis.” Want to know more? There exists a wealth of information on the web about punctuation in general—and of course you are just dying to learn about it; if you just want to know about the day itself, it has its own website with lots of information and history: here.
For the more astute reader, you will notice that all standard English punctuation has had a chance to shine in this short post (except the parenthesis that is.)
