    You really don’t want to say “Let’s eat Grandma!” when you mean “Let’s eat, Grandma!” The first means you’re suggesting you eat your sweet old granny, the second invites her to come dine with you. Punctuation Day shares this wisdom with the world, as well as the wisdom of all the other forms of punctuation.

    Punctuation Day was established by Jeff Rubin, founder of the day and organiser of www.nationalpunctuationday.com. Punctuation can be tricky for some people, those who struggle to know when it’s appropriate to use a colon, or a set of brackets, or even an ellipsis.

    Punctuation Day was established to help reinforce these lessons we learned in primary school, and to reinforce their use and to show just how important they can be to ensure that what you write is properly interpreted as what you mean.
