PUNCTUATION is a system of marks the purpose of which is to indicate to the eye the relation to one another in meaning, and so the relative importance, of the component parts of a written composition.
The marks of punctuation, corresponding, for the most part, to pauses in spoken language are the period (.), the note of interrogation (?), the note of exclamation (!), the colon (:), the semicolon (;), the comma (,), the dash (-), parenthesis (), brackets [], quotation marks (""), the hyphen (-), etc. Punctuation fully serves its purpose when it does all that is in the power of punctuation to facilitate the task of reading.
A sentence consisting of a simple subject, a simple predicate, and a simple object, or the relation of whose parts is clearly intelligible without punctuation marks, should not be encumbered with any. "The harvest moon is shining in the night." "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance." PERIOD. 1. The period (.) is put at the end of every complete sentence that is not exclamatory or interrogative. 2. This mark is also used after every abbreviation, and so after every initial letter standing in place of the full word in a name. "P.S." (for postscript), " A.M." (for Master of Arts), "Ph.D." (Doctor of Philosophy), "Rev." (Reverend), "Esq." (Esquire), “Mr." (Master), "W. E. Gladstone" (William Ewart Gladstone).
