505 0  Punctuation can't rescue sense from nonsense -- The main 
       reason to punctuate is to clarify your intent -- One of 
       punctuation's tasks is to supply the various signals given
       by the voice -- In workplace writing, a sentence should 
       yield its meaning instantly -- Punctuation should be 
       invisible -- Punctuation follows the arrangement of words 
       -- Punctuation indicates how ideas relate -- Punctuation 
       suggests how much emphasis an idea deserves -- Punctuation
       slows the reading -- Don't count too much on context to 
       make your meaning plain -- Know the difference between 
       restrictive and non-restrictive expressions -- Respect the
       distinction between that and which -- When is punctuation 
       optional? -- Use the serial comma -- When do I separate 
       adjectives with a comma? -- Use the hyphen to clarify 
       "improvised usage" -- Sometimes, no matter how you 
       punctuate, a reader is going to think it's wrong -- Feed 
       your head -- When you see an odd usage, consider the 
       source -- Apostrophe -- Brackets -- Colon -- Comma -- Dash
       -- Ellipsis -- Hyphen -- Parentheses -- Period -- Question
       mark -- Quotation marks -- Semicolon -- Slash --
