we do not speak in punctuation! the words can be wr itten down and recorded
as we use them and have developed them for centuries etc but the punctuation
surely is a set of indications of the type and length of breaks between the
bits of what we say. --Sally E
Think of the number of languages which to not use puncuation or grammer as
we know it. The Romans ranwordstogetherwithoutanybreaks and seems to have
done fine, though the number of folk who were literate was small. The
Chinese have no plural or the connecting words we find in English.
Eventually evolving to changes in puncuation isnt as far fetched as it might
have once seemed, especially as the net evolves its own speak.
