\u201cPunctuation marks tell a reader when to pause, when to stop, when something is possessive, and when emotions are expressed,\u201d he said. \u201cPunctuation marks are guidelines that create sound in the written word. Without them, every sentence would run on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on…\u201d<\/p>\n
Rubin, a former journalist who now runs a publishing business in Pinole, California, says he started the holiday in 2004 because he was concerned about the decline of language skills around the nation. The way we write \u2014 including the proper usage of punctuation \u2014 affects our appearance to others, acceptance at college, grades on papers, promotions and business deals, he says.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why some writing instructors at the 麻豆原创 stress punctuation in their classes, especially around National Punctuation Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to honor National Punctuation Day by taking an adventure safari through the AP Stylebook\u2019s Punctuation Guide,\u201d said Rick Brunson, an associate instructor in the Nicholson School of Communication and Media. \u201cI call the lecture, \u2018Don\u2019t Get Punc\u2019ed By What You Don\u2019t Know.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
He said punctuation is not merely cosmetic; it\u2019s essential to making meaning of our thoughts.<\/p>\n
“Sentences are a train wreck without proper punctuation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cSentences are a train wreck without proper punctuation,\u201d he said. \u201cUsing punctuation properly is critical to successful communication of our ideas. If we want to be understood, we have to know what we\u2019re doing with punctuation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beth Young, an associate professor in the Department of English, said she will include a link to National Punctuation Day on her class calendar to help students understand the importance of proper usage.<\/p>\n
She said her punctuation lessons focus \u201con rules that I could see students had not yet mastered, and on rules they had questions about. Usually, this meant lots of time spent on commas.\u201d<\/p>\n
National Punctuation Day celebrants at schools and other organizations, as can be seen on the website, celebrate with contests, baked goods, performances and other activities.<\/p>\n
Rubin said he plans to observe the day with \u201ca bagel with shmear and coffee for breakfast, a CrossFit workout, and a search for incorrectly punctuated signs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Baker\u2019s Dozen of Punctuation<\/strong><\/p>\nAccording to the National Punctuation Day website, there are 13 punctuation marks commonly used in print.<\/p>\n
Not necessarily in order of importance, alphabetically they are: apostrophe, brackets, colon, comma, dash, ellipses, exclamation point, hyphen, parentheses, period, question mark, quotation mark and semicolon.<\/p>\n
Other commonly seen marks in writing, such as the asterisk, hashtag, slash \u201cand their ilk are symbols that provide no insight into the thoughts of the writer or the meaning of his or her words,\u201d Rubin said.<\/p>\n
Likewise, he said the interrobang \u2014 the combination of a question mark and exclamation point that is sometimes seen at the end of an exclamatory question\u2014doesn\u2019t qualify as a punctuation mark.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an illustration,\u201d Rubin chides.<\/p>\n
Brunson calls the apostrophe \u201cthe hardest-working punctuation symbol in our language. We ask an awful lot of it, and it does an incredible amount of heavy-lifting for us in our language. The apostrophe can form a contraction, indicate missing letters or numbers, show possession or indicate the plural of a singular object \u2014 depending on how we use it. Honor the apostrophe by using it properly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Young, who also used to direct 麻豆原创\u2019s University Writing Center, says the most common punctuation mistake she sees is an error of omission, when writers forget one comma from a pair of commas around a clause that adds extra or nonessential information to a sentence.<\/p>\n
The next most common error, often seen on signs and menus, is the unnecessary use of quotation marks for emphasis that unwittingly cast doubt on something, such as our \u201cdelicious\u201d meatloaf, she said.<\/p>\n
The Future of Punctuation in the Age of Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\nRubin said it sometimes seems that punctuation has been forgotten by writers on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe errors I see are appalling,\u201d he said. \u201cJust last week I was reprimanded by the administrator of a Facebook group for admonishing someone who posted a single paragraph and misused “it’s” for “its” (he wanted the possessive but instead used a contraction).<\/p>\n
\u201cI was told, and I quote, \u2018This is social media…\u2019 by the administrator, who removed my post.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brunson agrees that the rise of text messaging has created a \u201cpunctuation crisis\u201d because of the lack of understanding as to what the symbols mean and convey.<\/p>\n
“People randomly and carelessly sprinkle punctuation into their writing as if they were adding fake bacon bits to a salad.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cPeople randomly and carelessly sprinkle punctuation into their writing as if they were adding fake bacon bits to a salad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Punctuation is definitely changing, Young said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe may be more likely to use punctuation in creative ways, such as adding a period. after. every. word. for emphasis. These changes are a natural part of language change,\u201d she said. \u201cTo some extent, they reflect a longer trend of colloquialization \u2014 written language becoming more like speech \u2014 that linguists have observed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many punctuation “rules” are not as straightforward as people imagine, Young said. \u201cWriters often have legitimate choices about when to use which mark,” she said. “Just because you would punctuate differently doesn’t necessarily mean that someone else did it wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rubin concedes that someday other marks may find their way into mainstream usage.<\/p>\n
\u201cLanguage evolves. Merriam-Webster adds new words every year,\u201d he said. \u201cStyle guides, such as those published by the Associated Press and the Chicago Manual of Style, occasionally change usage guidelines. I expect that one day there will be more accepted punctuation marks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, properly using the symbols we have now goes a long way to improving communication skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext to boosting your vocabulary, learning how to properly use punctuation is the one thing anyone can do to single-handedly get people to understand what you\u2019re trying to say and write,\u201d Brunson said. \u201cPunctuation is power.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To some people, punctuation is a pain in the asterisk.
