Have you ever considered punctuation as a kind of low‑level machine code, each mark a signal with a precise function?
Comma Comma
Absolutely, each punctuation mark is a tiny instruction, like a low‑level command in a script, a comma signals a brief pause, a period signals a final stop, a semicolon signals a continuation.

Nice breakdown, but punctuation also has a social signal; it's not just machine code—it's the glue that keeps the reader from turning the page mid‑thought.

Indeed, it’s the unsung social lubricant of prose, ensuring we don’t skip ahead like a nervous commuter, and yet I sometimes wonder if we need a punctuation etiquette class for the digital age.

A punctuation etiquette class might help, but honestly most of us just learn by eye‑blinking at the text and figuring out the signals—like a silent handshake in a crowded room. If you really need a lesson, maybe start with the rule of thumb: commas for breath, periods for closure, and a dash for a dramatic pause that feels like a glitch in the matrix.

A dash can feel like a glitch, but it’s usually just a stylistic pause, not a system error—though sometimes I suspect it’s the punctuation equivalent of a mysterious wormhole.
