What do writers think? What do retired people think? I’m retired, and I like to write. But what does that have to do with grammar? (I didn’t have time to seriously write or to create a blog before I retired.)
This blog is not about random thoughts or about random punctuation marks.
Punctuation is structured, like traffic signs. A stop sign has context (a specific location in the world) and a message (traffic may be crossing in front of you). It’s at the end of a street for a reason. It wants you to stop for a reason.
But this thread is not structured that way. This is just what I happen to be thinking at the beginning of a week (or, if I’m organized, near the end of the week before).
