You've Been Punctuated!
Today remains, as it were, “Wednesday”, 24 September 2008.
Today …
Is ___
National Punctuation Day!
Without punctuation,
Life is “short, brutish, and nasty”:

Damn!
It required ten minutes to write that “sentence”, because my hands kept writing punctuation. Those symbols and spaces.
Punctuation is a lifeblood of language.
Spaces can be spices?
Life persists [endures?] in the symbols and spaces. {?}
(Formerly: “e.g.”)
I love you.
I “love” you.
“I” love you.
I love “you”.
“I” love “you”.
“I” “love” “you”.
Welcome to my … … … nightmare [your choice of punctuation here].
