About This Quote

Punctuation is a system that allows writers to add meaning to their sentences and thus make them more understandable, thus giving the reader a better experience. The rule of punctuation is that a sentence may have more than one meaning. However, when punctuation is used in a grammatically incorrect way, it can cause confusion for the reader. People who are in the business of creating documents and letters know this, so they use punctuation in a proper way that follows all the rules of grammar.
