An indifferent grade-school student, a bored high-school one, my least favorite subject was English grammar, with punctuation a close second. Best I was able in those papers I wrote for school I steered clear of punctuation; the only punctuation I availed myself of was the capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, the period at its conclusion.

Semicolons, colons, dashes, parentheses, and the rest of punctuation was, in a cliché of the day, all Greek to me. The post Punctuation Matters appeared first on .
