There are two main things that confuse me in English, one being punctuation and the other grammar. Grammar is, in my opinion, really confusing. With semi colons and dashes and hyphens, there's really so much to be confused about, and I wish there was a whole new simpler grammar system.

To save my sanity, I would like you to design a new form of punctuation (e.g. ? ! ,)

You need to provide an illustration to show me what it would look like!

Grammar and punctuation is so easy. But it can be annoying when you forget to add it, and you don't want to send the message until you've sorted it, so you don't look stupid.

I think it should just all be removed together! We know what the word would say without it. ;)

Let's just resort to barbaric screaming matches ;)
I'm not sure how that's punctuation but er.. I know they say writing things down helps,. but hell, doesn't screaming them just feel SO much better? Yeah, this isn't really a "new" method, I'm so unoriginal everything I could think of is already a language communication type, like sign language and..yeah... I'll shutup now 8)

A backwards question mark to pose a sentence as sarcasm.

GS - Use it when you guess something to be correct, you put it at the start and end of the sentence.

For exampleGS I think there are 7 colours in the rainbow GS

Punctuation Song To Help You


Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say?
If you don't know punctuation.
Punctuation marks - they make your writing smart
And keep your meaning clear in any situation
Periods are first on our list of punctuation marks
They end every sentence before a new one starts
(and) if you're using numbers in a list or outline
put one after every number and you will be fine
Next up is the question mark It's a period with a curl on top
Use it after every question that you write down
Sometimes in Spanish it's upside down
The punctuation mark that we use the most is called a comma
and that is no joke
If you have to list several things in a row use a comma to help keep your flow
For example:
"I had bacon <comma> eggs <comma> cereal <comma> and juice for breakfast <period>.
Use commas in your address to separate the street from the city and the city from the state
and also when you write dates like January second, two thousand and eight
Phrases and words that describe different terms are set off by commas, now listen and learn
"Music <comma> a collection of sounds <comma> is the way we get down."
Two related ideas hooked together by a comma are called a compound sentence, no need for drama
"Punctuation confused me for a long time, but now it's easy 'cause I learned this rhyme!"
Chorus:
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say?
If you don't know punctuation.
Punctuation marks - they make your writing smart
And keep your meaning clear in any situation
An exclamation point expresses strong feeling, like excitement
when somebody is screaming
Enclose the words of a speaker in quotation marks
They tell you when the talking stops and starts...
When you have to break a word into two syllables...
Compound words are also linked with a hyphen...
Often it's cool to make two words into one
an apostrophe gets the job done...
Chorus:
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say?
If you don't know punctuation.
Punctuation marks - they make your writing smart
And keep your meaning clear in any situation
There are situations when you need to show possession...
And that's using punctuation
This is the stuff you've got to know if your writing's gonna flow
So take your time and learn this rhyme
and keep hitting the books
We'll be back with more raw hooks
