They can't spell, either.
Do you ever find yourself; wondering why people don’t understand punctuation. Its not really, that, hard. but for some reason they get the idea into their head’s that it works sort of like this paragraph where punctuation is slotted in: randomly; although actually I haven”t punctuated this sentence, randomly. These are all excellent examples of the way punctuation has been used in the document Im’ currently editing.. Except that-s worse than this is.
*winces* (Sorry about that, folks.)
But seriously – it’s dreadful. According to the document writers:
- semicolons are used to set the first few words in the sentence apart from the rest, and also to begin lists (where I would use a colon).
- apostrophes are used to designate plurals.
- commas are pretty, and should be scattered all over the page like delicate ornamentation.
I also want to tie them down and force them to learn the difference between “eg” and “ie”. At gunpoint, if necessary.
