Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the vital role punctuation plays in written language by marking out the arrangement of a writer's ideas, hence making reading less arduous. Punctuation helps readers group words correctly and enables them to follow the intended meaning, rather than being distracted by having to find the connection between the words. Punctuation choices should depend on the degree of pause necessitated by each instance, as well as on the style the writer is employing throughout the piece. For example, a semicolon is usually used to separate clauses that are too closely connected to be made separate sentences, while a colon is used when clauses are more independent, but still too closely connected to be made separate sentences. This book provides helpful examples for a variety of situations, aiding writers in making correct punctuation choices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332425655_0
