the seventh sense

In their article, Truss and Lynne talk about punctuations; how they help readers comprehend writings easier, common misapprehension, and the importance of learning how to use them right. We all use punctuation in all of our writings and often, I find myself confused if the commas are in the right places or not in the right places. Punctuation makes a meaning of the sentence clearer but when it is not correctly used, it can change the meaning of a sentence. For a writer to make their writings easy to understand, correct usage of punctuation is essential. I think school and classes should teach the student more about punctuations and why their importance should not be ignored. This article helped me realize some mistakes that I have been making and I will be more aware of punctuations when writing from now on.
