Punctuation is Yor Friend

I did not invent any of these lessons, but they are important all the same:

  • The semicolon is the difference between, "My dearest love Duncan comes here tonight," and, "My dearest love; Duncan comes here tonight."
  • The comma is the difference between, "Eats shoots and leaves," and "Eats, shoots, and leaves."
  • The apostrophe is the difference between, "Some can sing, and some cant," and, "Some can sing, and some can't."
  • Capitalization is the difference between, "Helping your uncle Jack off a horse," and, "Helping your uncle jack off a horse."

I once saw a sign in a store that said, "We 'don't' take credit cards." I can only assume this means that they take credit cards only if you know the secret handshake.
