. . . O! Yesterday, 24 September, was the annual celebration of National Punctuation Day! Were you careful with quotation marks, commas and semicolons; did you use question marks appropriately? Why can't the interrobang get wider recognition‽ I'll enjoy my tie's exclamation points and think about Lynne Truss' famous book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves: Why Commas Really Do Make a Difference." You can get the point from the first few minutes of an audio reading of the first chapter of the book.
