In America, every important thing- no matter how big or small- gets its own day. Veterans, Jesus, Earth, and now, punctuation.
We at OneRiot deeply value what these little lines and dots do for the seemingly endless painters’ pallet that is our language, as we embrace it on the daily. However, you’re probably wondering, as we did, what the hell Punctuation Day entails. As far as we can tell, besides refreshing us on the use of various types of punctuation, the central activity is making punctuation meat loaf. Now you’re wondering, ‘Where can I get punctuation meat? They don’t have that at the market. I’ll have to hunt, kill, gut and clean one myself. Am I up for this? Do parentheses scream when they die?’ Worry not. It’s the same reshaped Grade F beef dish your mom used to make; this time it’s just shaped like a semicolon.

So, though you may feel inclined to, don’t hate on punctuation day. And on the other side of it, don’t include non-punctuation symbols in the fun. They are just here trying to take away jobs from the regular punctuation and it’s best if we ignore them. Like that bastard *. Ha! *. Who the f$%# does * think its @^$ing with it’s #$!ed up #$$ and #@#$% $#&@^?
