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 do not, in fact, use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people's memories for a while.

I like commas. I detest semi-colons - I don't think they belong in a story. And I gave up quotation marks long ago. I found I didn't need them, they were fly-specks on the page.

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.

I still think it's really quite wonderful when I read a sentence of mine and it has that quality of lastingness.

Texting is very loose in its structure. No one thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts, but then again, do you think about those things when you talk?

I still put punctuation in my texts. If it's an 'I', I make sure it's a capital.
