We Do!!!

Happy Punctuation Day Yes Today is a big holiday Bet you didnt even notice Hey if we can celebrate things like groundhogs hearts and fools then we can certainly take a day to honor the humble punctuation mark

Today September 24 is the 5th annual National Punctuation Day This great holiday was founded by Jeff Rubin a former newspaperman who now dons a red cape to reinvent himself as the superhero Punctuation Man to inspire schoolchildren to love the poor underappreciated little puncs

According to Rubins website httpcolonbackslashbackslashwwwdotnationalpunctuationdaydotcom National Punctuation Day is and I quote a celebration of the lowly comma correctly used quotes and other proper uses of periods semicolons and the ever mysterious ellipsis

Of course on the site that quote is cluttered up with these funny little doodads that look like this “ , , , . ” Whatever they mean

Myself Im a big fan of the dash I find it quite dashing

And hey how about that cute little comma Is it not adorable

And lets not forget parentheses those mirror image identical twins are very affectionate why just look at how they embrace an interjected explanatory or qualifying remark

Well I could go on and on about the philosophical virtues of the question mark and the joie de vivre of the exclamation point and dont get me started on the semicolon

Check it out for yourself Here Ill make it easier for you
