Description
Description
This informative history of English punctuation, the first of its kind, offers a comprehensive guide on how to utilize punctuation correctly. Each punctuation mark holds a multitude of stories and has been shaped by occasional logic and randomness, resulting in idiosyncrasies.
Despite only consisting of a few dozen marks, the English language's punctuation generates an unmatched level of doubt and enthusiasm, as seen through organizations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and the dedication of enthusiasts seeking to correct errors. Professor Crystal navigates this complex subject with his trademark wit, lucidity, and practicality.
He provides a captivating overview of the development and evolution of every type of punctuation over the course of 1,500 years, along with expert advice on how to effectively use punctuation in any given situation or context.
