Say It With Style


I’m happy to report that today is National Punctuation Day. The day is described as, “a celebration of the lowly comma, correctly used quotes, and other proper uses of periods, semicolons, and the ever-mysterious ellipsis.”

While you don’t have to go overboard by baking things in the shape of punctuation marks like this guy, we invite you to join the celebration today by using correct punctuation when writing e-mails, texts, tweets, and all other correspondences. If you happen to print menus or own a CD shop, please be on the lookout for wayward apostrophes. Your readers will thank you!

I'm all for good punctuation. But as Melissa Martens and I slave over the final text for our new exhibition, The Morgenthaus: A Legacy of Service (opening to the public November 16), I must say, I just can't celebrate the pesky #$*! ellipsis.

Every day in our little universe is National Punctuation Day...and for that I am most grateful.
