Mind Your Punctuation

Punctuation is important for successful writing. Where the punctuation, like a comma, is placed would change the meaning of the sentence.

This is one good example.

Save him, not kill him.
Save him not, kill him.

The kitties are reminding EJ of its importance.

Full stop

Comma

Colon

Semi-colon

Hyphen

Dash

  18. Love it! Have you seen this classic?



    Punctuate this:

    “Woman without her man is nothing”

    And you will find men write: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.”

    And women write: “Woman: Without her, man is nothing.”

  21. Oh my. You were so creative today! I'm terrible at punctuation; (Just kidding. I know I should put a period there) But if lessons were this funny, I'd definitely improve in no time.

  22. That is the best punctuation I have ever seen. xxoo

  23. Those are some good examples of punctuation marks from the cats.

    I'm fond of the word-play sentences where a punctuation modification completely changes the meaning of words.
