In the workplace, good punctuation is much more than a matter of
correctness. It's a matter of efficiency. Professionals who aren't
sure how to punctuate take more time than necessary to write, as
they fret about the many inconsistent and contradictory rules
they've picked up over the years. Good punctuation is also a matter
of courtesy: In workplace writing, a sentence should yield its
meaning instantly, but when punctuation is haphazard, readers need
to work to understand - or guess at - the writer's intent. Weak
punctuation results in time-wasting confusion, questions about
professionalism, and some times even serious and costly
miscommunication. Without using the jargon of grammar -- and
providing 18 common sense principles to live by -- "Punctuation at
Work" shows busy professionals exactly how the marks can be used to
make meaning clear and emphasize ideas. All the marks are covered,
with hundreds of examples taken from today's workplace. From
hyphens and semicolons to brackets and quotation marks...all the
way to ellipses (and the eternal struggle between "that" and
"which"), this book explains the many ways punctuation makes things
plain.
