Happy Punctuation Day!!
Did you know that there was a specific day set aside to celebrate punctuation? Me neither! I have been accused of over-punctuating, but I think there's no such thing!! If punctuation is used correctly, you can hear an author's tone in their writing. I have several favorites -- the dash (particularly, the double dash) comes in handy, as does the comma. You can't live without quotation marks, parentheses or question marks... but, oh, what happens when punctuation is used incorrectly! It makes me crazy!
In celebration of Punctuation Day, give yourself the gift of watching Victor Borge and Dean Martin do their bit about Musical Phonetic Punctuation. It's very funny!
