The 8th National Punctuation Day arrives September 24, 2011, and there is a clever little contest to go with it. If you're interested, here are the rules:
Write one paragraph, maximum of three sentences, using these 13 punctuation marks: apostrophe, brackets, colon, comma, dash, ellipsis, exclamation point, hyphen, parentheses, period, question mark, quotation mark, and semicolon. You may use a punctuation mark more than once.Head over to the National Punctuation Day website and knock yourself out.
I don't understand why thy are making holidays on unnecessary things. How there is a national kiss day and national physical therapy day. Holidays are for family to be together and celebrate, but celebrating things like national punctuation day is stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt's not necessarily 'stupid', it's more so gathering through a different means of such, instead of being physically near each other celebrating, it's more like taking time to celebrate something that in one point in life was or currently is important, such as punctuation. Posting/sending in a paragraph for this would be just the same as communicating together or gathering, just across the internet or to unknown people.
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of dumb if you think about it. Why would any body besides english answer man Celebrate national punctuation day????????????
