I compare punctuation marks to the yellow and black signs along a twisting highway. They alert you that you’ll soon need to turn. If you ignore the sign, you may end up in the ditch.
Like the samples from a recent infographic, “Punctuation
Matters.”
You’ll find ten sometimes-comical illustrations of why
commas, colons, hyphens, apostrophes, quotation marks, semicolons, and Oxford commas matter.
For example:
Twenty five-dollar bills
vs.
Twenty-five dollar bills
I find inspiration in cooking my
family and my dog.
vs.
I find inspiration in cooking, my
family, and my dog.
I’m sorry I love you.
vs.
I’m sorry; I love you.

A fun post Andy! I am 1/2 Pennsylvania Dutch. My cousins always amused me. For example they would say, "Throw mama down the stairs, her hat." You can not take them literally, but must use context.
