Loved his points about how you can hear punctuation in speech:
"Morgan Freeman is liberal with the commas, and Jon Stewart is a master of parentheses. Lewis Black made a career out of the exclamation point while Dennis Leary barely uses any punctuation at all."
Overall, a great Sunday morning read.
- Istof 12y agoit's a good point, but isn't that the point of punctuation?
- YokoZar 12y agoA period is a good point.
- jonemo 12y agoThis was also my favorite sentence of the piece. People sometimes criticize my writing as having to many parentheses. From now on I will just tell them to read it in the voice of Jon Stewart. Because that's exactly how I want all my texts to be read.
