:?-,!.;

The world is a bleary place these days if you're a semicolon; the majority of Americans would rather use a comma splice and form a run-on sentence. And how do you think It feels when its possessive form is so often given an unneeded apostrophe? It isn't alone, either; the local gas station is selling hot dog's. And need I mention the thousands of American families who think it's appropriate to add a possessive apostrophe to the plural form of their family surname? Oh, and don't even get me started on everyday offenses concerning your and you're.

And so my friends, I call your attention to the fact that today is National Punctuation Day. Celebrate with me!
