Once, people wrote without punctuation, and sometimes without even spaces between words. Reading could be slow, confusing, and full of guesswork. So how did dots, commas, question marks, and other marks become part of the way we write?
What's the Point? The History of Punctuation takes readers through the development of punctuation in the English language. With illustrations and clear explanations, it shows how small marks can change meaning, guide a reader's voice, and make writing easier to understand.
This nonfiction book is a smart pick for curious readers who enjoy language, history, and surprising facts about everyday things. It turns grammar into a story of communication and invention.
