Em Dash
Em Dash
The em dash is one of the most versatile punctuation marks. It's often used in places where a set of parentheses or a colon might otherwise be used. Em dashes can show an abrupt change in thought or be used where a full stop (period) is too strong and a comma too weak.
Like the em dash, you cause people to stop and take a second look, offering a fresh, unexpected perspective. Go turn some heads!
Oxford Comma
Oxford Comma
The oxford comma is a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before ‘and’ or ‘or’.
It is widely controversial among grammar fans.
Like the Oxford comma, you’re wise, knowledgeable, and accurate. (You’re definitely NOT wise, knowledgeable and accurate, though!)
Ellipsis
Ellipsis
The ellipsis is a set of three dots that indicate the act of leaving out one or more words that are not necessary for a phrase to be understood.
Like the ellipsis, you like to pause, absorb the world around you, and reflect on what you see. Take the time to stop and smell the roses!
Semi-Colon
Semi-Colon
A semicolon is stronger than a comma but weaker than a period. It is used to separate independent clauses that are closely related.
Like the semicolon, you draw connections other people might not see. Keep sharing your thoughts with the world!
Interrobang
Interrobang
The interrobang is a unique punctuation mark that has debatable validity. It is used to take the place of the "Question Mark" & "Exclamation Point" combo.
Like the interrobang, you’re passionate, enthusiastic, and a little wacky. You bring an unexpected spice to life!
Period
Period
The simple, yet completely necessary period. It can be used at the end of any sentence.
The period is the safe and strong punctuation mark. It keeps the grammar world moving in the midst of confusing grammar rules.
Exclamation Point
Exclamation Point
The exclamation point is another punctuation mark used at the end of a sentence. In place of a period, the exclamation mark indicates excitement, passion, and emotion.
Like the exclamation point, you bring enthusiasm and strong emotion to everything you do. Shout your stories to the world!
