Yes, it’s National Punctuation Day. And while part of me knows its founder’s mission is essentially fruitless (shall we talk about textlish and the degradation of the language as a whole?) I admire his initiative.
So, indulge in some of the myriad ways to celebrate: be kind to an apostrophe; learn to use a semi-colon; dust off the ellipsis and leave something to the imagination; find a real reason to be excited because the exclamation point gets so overused.
