User blog:Merciless Killer Blueberry/Use proper punctuation

People always get confused about the usage of punctuation. I'll help you to understand the usage of them.

Apostrophes are small marks '. When talking about plural, for example, let's use "word". When talking about plural, the incorrect way to use the apostrophe is word's. The usage of word's is to specify what it possesses, like, say, an adjective. Words sound, the correct version. Words' sounds specifies plural words that possess plural sounds. Words like "sheep", "fish", "deer", and "moose" do not need modification. Only use 's or ' when appropriate. "The sheep eat the grass" "the herd of sheep are eating grass" "sheep's wool is soft" "sheep' wools are soft"

Low marks are the two most common marks, the comma, and period. . When ending a sentence with a period, remember this: This sentence is incorrect.This sentence is still not right" and "Yay. The sentence is correct". Add periods at the end of sentences, or people will think the sentence is still going, Commas are used for appositives, or in a list. An appositive is: "My brother, Cameron, is 9". A list is: apples, jello, candy, etc. When ending a list, don't write "A, B, C, D". Instead, write "A, B, C, and D".

Colons : and Semicolons ; are kind of a tough subject. A semicolon is used in a sentence to prevent a run-on sentence "My brother Cameron likes to play soccer I like it when his team scores a goal". With a semicolon it is "My brother, Cameron, likes to play soccer ; I like it when his team scores a goal". Colons are used on Digital Clocks as "6:10" or lists: A, b, c, d. They are used to inform a name, also.

Ellipsis ... and Gulliments < >. Gulliments are used to compare numbers like 7  > 5 which means seven is greater than or equaled to five. Ellipsis are used to omit stuff that... citation, if you are trying to cite something, and you don't want to cite all of it, use the ellipsis.

Atsimbal @ and Ampersand &. Atsimbal means at. "We ate @ McDonald's" Ampersand means and. "...& then we ate food from McDonald's"

Use this info to help you write and type. If you read this and you are pluralizing a word with an apostrophe, I will be greatly upset because ya either didn't read this, or ya didn't go to school. Did you know what my grade was when I used  " 's " inappropriately on a writing test? I made a D+. A D-PLUS!!!
