Punctuation
Why punctuate?
In all languages, punctuation is derived from unique
cultural and language conventions. Although many languages may have
similarities, each language has its own set of punctuation rules. It helps to
better organize and define language communication. Without punctuation,
sentences would be confusing, and meaning would be misconstrued. It gives
structure and foundation to language.
For instance; computer
programming languages utilize punctuation marks as well, and without certain
marks and syntax, a program will not run.
(With exclamation mark) Lets eat, dad!
(Without any punctuation mark) Lets eat dad
