	Punctuation handout.html
		In elementary school, we still often learn how punctuation is used by thinking of how a sentence is spoken (thus, the injunction to use a comma when you pause).
		There are six kinds of punctuation used with quotation marks: (1) comma and period, (2) question mark and exclamation point, (3) semicolon and colon.
		The punctuation that indicates intonation (rising for a question mark, emphatic for an exclamation point) goes inside or outside of quotation marks depending on whether the intonation applies to the quoted words or the sentence of which the quoted words are part.

		That's down to personal taste of course, but for all the justification given in the introduction about preserving the language I was left with a strong impression that the real intention of the book is to satisfy the author's vanity at the expense of others' mistakes.
		It seems to fall into the classic trap of assuming everyone's a punctuation ignoramus until they prove otherwise, as evidenced by the section on those 'lying' about using perfect punctuation in mobile phone text messages, for instance.
		I think the real mistake is assuming that the odd isolated punctuation mistake is enough to generalise ignorance to the rest of the population.
