I'm tired of wasting letters when punctuation will do, period.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And if you want to know why great editors scare the pants off of writers everywhere, read 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss. The punctuation police are everywhere!
I still put punctuation in my texts. If it's an 'I', I make sure it's a capital.
I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.
To some people, the fact that I am not married, or don't have children, would be the reason I have written a book on punctuation.
Writers spend three years rearranging 26 letters of the alphabet. It's enough to make you lose your mind day by day.
No texting. What happens then? Good old-fashioned letters.
Texting has reduced the number of waste words, but it has also exposed a black hole of ignorance about traditional - what a cranky guy would call correct - grammar.
I like all things grammatical, and I had already written several books about parts of speech, and even the alphabet, so everything that makes up a sentence and even a word was covered except for punctuation.
I found a great many pieces of punctuation and typography lying around dormant when I came along - and I must say I had a good time using them.
I write in the most distressingly slow way in terms of punctuation and grammar.
