Punctuation is about communication. The same way we notice if somebody is articulate in her speech or in his dress, we notice how they punctuate their emails and texts; a sign of a well-edited mind. Perhaps even more than that. If your punctuation is sloppy, what else in your life is too? Do you keep your dishes in your sink for days on end? Is your bedroom floor littered with dirty clothes? Do you have five thousand emails marked as unread? Is just reading this list making you nervous?
