Some interesting notes I found
A friend of mine showed this to me. Made me think about punctuation a little differently. Im not sure if this is the right place to be putting this (I noticed JirQuest's sticky post about writing tips), but nonetheless, here it is:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/punctuation.html Its actually mildly humourous, you should read it. /thats all... heh.

Ah, thanks for putting this in a more proper spot. I hope people have read it. It really is interesting, as interesting as punctuation notes could be i suppose.

Re: Some interesting notes I found
it gives some general ideas for the use of punctuations, yet, it doesnt seem to really say much either. when i edit stories, i find that a lot of commas are misplaced or misused - biggest problem with punctuation. but like the writer said, there are no precise rules, and it's hard to nail the problem like that.
