To all my "word nerd" friends out there, happy National Punctuation Day!
I know what all of you non-word nerds are thinking, but I beg to differ. You might not realize it, but punctuation is important and even FUN. Punctuation allows us to write in a way that is actually read like conversation. And misunderstood communication is a very dangerous thing, my friends.
Show me a sentence written with correct punctuation, and I'll show you someone whose credibility has just gone way up.
So, in celebration of National Punctuation Day, go hug a hyphen, embrace some ellipses, praise a parenthesis, brag on a bracket and commend a comma. I could think of a million more, but I just get nerdier by the minute.

I, myself, am not a word-nerd (i.e. I can barely spell) and I don’t know that “fun” is the word I would use to describe punctuation. But, in the spirit/theme of word-nerdiness, I offer the following…

Hey! Was that so hard? Maybe I’m a word-nerd after all because I used: comma, hyphen, parenthesis, apostrophe, quotes, period, ellipses, exclamation point, question mark, and a colon.
Frankly; I don"t know? what! to say. about! this: punctuation,etc. deal,
Love-!/.,
