National Punctuation Day
Today is the fifth annual National Punctuation Day! Created by newspaperman Jeff Rubin, National Punctuation Day is meant to remind people of the importance of proper punctuation for communicating clearly at school or work.
In his words, “Punctuation has been devalued by a generation of computer wizards who ask, ‘What’s the point? Nobody writes in complete sentences anymore.’ But the rules of proper punctuation haven’t changed just because of computers… Careless punctuation mistakes cost time, money, and productivity.”
