As our
faithful chronicler reminds, this day since first championed in the United States of America by Jeff Rubin in 2004 is set aside to
promote the correct use of punctuation, observed—among other rituals—by sharing the
gravest transgressions. Also an occasion to celebrate the rarer or failed interpunction like the
asterism or
interrobang, we liked learning about the proposal for a friendly period to
lighten the tone, formality or finality.
