I love, love punctuation--especially the dash ;-) Oh, and a well placed semicolon makes me giddy. I know, I know: I'm a nerd

Language is a living entity, so it only stands to reason that punctuation will fluctuate in its usage, too. I always remind my students that they should use punctuation as a tool to enhance clarity. Rules, which change all the time--be damned Writing can be fun, damn-it!
