 Mon Aug 09, 2004 12:10 pm Why We Like Punctuation |
|
Because it makes the meaning of the sentence clear! Isn't that a wonderful feature?

The question is: do we all like it?
Punctuating sentences does make reading and understanding a lot easier. I had trouble with all that when I was younger though but I think (hope) I got the hang of it now!

The title is perfect, you dodo. Titles do not need periods, and it needs no other punctuation, so tsssss.

Pffft, name one book, or one book who's chapter titles have periods. If your statement were accurate, the banner would have to read STV. Or, Star Trek Voyager.com. So ewww.
