Punctuation is so important!

Punctuation can change the meaning of sentences. Learning to use punctuation is just as important as learning grammar rules.

You’re going. is not the same as You’re going?

Not again. is not the same as Not again!

Lucy and Joe’s parents. is not the same as Lucy’s and Joe’s parents.

He said I’m mad. is not the same as He said, ‘I’m mad’.

When writing, please check your punctuation. It must match the meaning you want to pass on to your readers.

    Great post. I agree that proper punctuation not only ensures that the message is being conveyed clearly, but it also allows a writer to be precise.
