3. There is something satisfying about the finality of the period.

As in Donald Trump will be impeached. (period)
Donald Trump will be found guilty by the Senate. (period)
Donald Trump will be removed from office and face multiple indictments. (period)
Donald Trump will face prison and loss of his wealth. (period)


yup... the period is satisfying.

12. I like the semicolon because it's a "super-comma."

[PJMcK]

15. I agree but many people hate the semicolon

It's an awesome way to minimize your thoughts into one strong sentence.

Similarly, the colon states that what follows is important:

SEE HOW THAT WORKS?!

I'm done goofing off, now.

[PJMcK]

14. First, the letter "r"

(wink - check your title!)

I've always loved parenthesis because they allow you to make, (ahem), a parenthetical thought in the middle of a sentence.

[NightWatcher]

16. I like (and overuse) the comma, because we could all use a pause for a split second

[underpants]

18. I like the one I call "asshole"

[FM123]

26. The semicolon; I could have stopped but I kept on going.

I recently read that it is the symbol of suicide survivors; I did not know that.

[AzureCrest]

27. Why do you ask?

[Codeine]

28. The interrobang.

It denotes an exclaimed question. Think of it as the “What the Fuck?!” of punctuation.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

37. Beat me to it.

I used to use it in a Mississippi newspaper when I was copy editor.

Here's the Wikipedia description:

A non-standard punctuation mark indicating a question expressed in an exclamatory manner, as in, "What are you doing‽"

[SCantiGOP]

49. When I was a kid

My Mother told my Dad that some relative had part of his colon removed due to cancer. I remarked that he now had a semi-colon. She was mad at me, but then madder at my Dad for laughing about the comment.

[Rollo]

50. So...

You've been a wise ass for a long time now, eh?

[LuckyCharms]

56. Sometimes posts like this make me grunt in disgust.
