Punctuation

I feel that punctuation is the glue that holds together any language. Without punctuation all there would be were meaningless words run together. I completely agree with Lynne Truss's argument about what punctuation means and how important it is to language. I quote, "The reason to stand up for punctuation is that without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning. Punctuation herds words together, keeps others apart." She refers to punctuation as the stitching of language and the traffic signals of a sentences. This is so true!
