12 Punctuation and Grammar Innovations
From Spelling Cushions to Robot Tutors:
Meghan Young — Oct 28, 2009 — Art & Design
Punctuation and grammar are probably one of the most fundamental skills a person should have. Interestingly enough, many people lack the refined knack of knowing how to structure a sentence or proper punctuation use. I blame the growing popularity of texting and twittering, which encourages people to find shortcuts and therefore undermine these basic lessons. This cluster has but a few ways of rectifying the situation.
