Punctuation in Formal WritingPart of the "Award Winning Professors Series"*"I've been thinking about punctuation and its endless rules, but it's so boring that I find myself falling asleep in a nonce." http://obliqueangles.blogspot.com Punctuation can also be frustrating in the extreme - even mysterious. The "punct" in "punctuation" means "point." So what's the point, and where do you aim it? - You lose marks for setting a comma before an "and" in one sentence, and then you are told to use one before the "and", as in this sentence. Why? What difference does it make?
- When is semicolon proper and when is it, simply, wrong?
- How do you determine whether an apostrophe goes before or after a final "s," or whether an apostrophe is even necessary?
- Who makes these rules, anyway?
These questions will be answered in the Permachart. |
