The Punctuation Gotham Deserves

And now...

Punctuation Tips From Professional Bakers...

1) Always put punctuation at the end of a sentence. Unless you forget or think it looks better this way.

I like it.

2) Quotation marks are perfect for emphasizing you don't understand quotation marks.

"Good" job!

3) They can also help cover "mistakes!"

"That's my nickname for you. That I just made up."

4) A slash generally means "or," but hey, if it feels right...

5) Proper punctuation can convey a sense of enthusiasm, so choose wisely!!

Because everyone hates Jonathan.

6) No one really understands how apostrophes work, so just sprinkle them in wherever.

7) When in doubt, go with a question mark. Inside parentheses.

It's not the punctuation Gotham needs.

It's the punctuation Gotham deserves.

And finally, remember:

8) Punctuation is important. Just put it anywhere.

In The Daze Of "Your"

Today, I thought it might be fun to see how many misspellings and misuses of the word "your" I can show you before your head literally explodes.*

*Yes, literally. I once saw it happen during an argument over the word "alright."

 

BEGIN!

Oooh, starting with a classic.

 

This one always smarts.
Or should I say, "dumbs?"
[self-righteous chuckle]

 

Now we're coming to the really dangerous, head-exploding stuff:

Ouch.

 

...the pain...

 

[clutching head and rolling on floor]

 

STOP!!! I can't take any more!!

 

Quick, someone show me an adorable misuse of an ordinal number!

Awww, look. It says, "Happy tooth birthday Lily!"

Crisis averted.
(Though technically, it's still missing a comma....)
