Writing
and
Printing
are
substitutes
for
oral
communication;
and
correct
punctuation
is
essential
to
convey
the
meaning
intended,
and
to
give
due
force
to
such
passages
as
the
author
may
wish
to
impress
upon
the
mind
of
the
person
to
whom
they
are
being
communicated.
[WINES
WERE
FIRST
MADE
IN
BRITAIN
A.D.
276.]
200.
The
Points
are
as
follows:
Comma
,
Semicolon
;
Colon
:
Period,
or
Full
Point
.
Apostrophe
'
Hyphen
-
Note
of
Interrogation
?
Note
of
Exclamation
!
Parenthesis
(
)
Asterisk,
or
Star
*
As
these
are
all
the
points
required
in
simple
epistolary
composition,
we
will
confine
our
explanations
to
the
rules
which
should
govern
the
use
of
them.
201.
The
Other
Points,
however,
are:
the
paragraph
¶
the
section
§
the
dagger
[can
not
be
shown
in
a
.txt
file]
the
double
dagger
[ditto]
the
parallel
||
the
bracket
[
]
and
some
others.
These,
however,
are
quite
unnecessary,
except
for
elaborate
works,
in
which
they
are
chiefly
used
for
notes
or
marginal
references.
The
rule
--is
sometimes
used
as
a
substitute
for
the
bracket
or
parenthesis.
202.
Pauses
The
Comma
,
denotes
the
shortest
pause;
the
semicolon
;
a
little
longer
pause
than
the
comma;
the
colon
:
a
little
longer
pause
than
the
semicolon;
the
period
.
or
full
point
the
longest
pause.
203.
The
Relative
Duration
of
these
pauses
is
described
as:
Comma
