PUNCTUATION
The purpose of punctuation is to help make clear the meaning of printed or written language.
Correct punctuation is based, in varying degrees, on three things: (1) thought or meaning, (2) the structural patterns of the sentence, (3) the conventions of the age. The practice of writers may be codified into a number of rules or principles. These rules or principles govern a very large number of typical situations in writing. At times, certain marks are optional, depending on the decisions of publishers or on levels of usage; on the whole, however, a university student will succeed if he or she follows codified usage. When in doubt, one can always resort to common sense.
END MARKS
Using the Period
Periods are used to mark the end of a declarative sentence, a mild command, or an indirect question: e.g.
I wish I owned a couple of acres of land now, in which case I would not be writing autobiographies for a living. - Mark Twain
Please do not smoke.
Junior asked Susanna whether she wanted any more pancakes.
Periods are used to mark the end of some abbreviations:
Titles - Mr., Capt., Hon., Ms.
Degrees - B.A., Ph.D., M.D., B.Sc.
States - Calif., N.Y., Tex. (But not in postal abbreviations - CA,
NY, TX)
Names of Political - U.K., U.S.A.,
C.I.S. Entities:
Months - Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.
Names - T. S. Eliot, John F. Kennedy
Other Uses - A.M., B.C., A.D., vol., St., Ave.
Generally, you don\'t need periods with acronyms (pronounceable words, such as UNESCO, WHO, formed from the initial letters of a multiword title), with capital-letter abbreviations of technical terms, or with abbreviated names of agencies and organisations:
CBS
TVA
IBM
NATO
ID
IQ
FM
CIA
VISTA
4
Periods are used to mark letters or numerals used in vertical lists:
e.g. Woven into the history of the human race is the history of its four great religions:
1. Buddhism
2. Judaism
3. Christianity
4. Islam
Periods are not used after another period or other end mark:
e.g. To please our customers, we have ordered scarce materials from Home Supplies Company, Inc.
We don\'t want customers saying, "Why don\'t you have what I want?" Please give me a wake-up call at 6:00 A.M.
