Jacks dead sister -
Is Jack dead or is it his sister? Basic punctuation can save lives!
With modern generations relying more upon technology to their job for them, people are becoming less willing to either learn or use correct punctuation.
Using incorrect punctuation could be the difference between smart and stupid. Do you want someone to take you seriously or laugh you off the face of the earth? Wether it be commas, apostrophes or capitalising words, it is important that they are used correctly if you want to say the right thing.
It's easier to use examples for this:
Jacks - many people called Jack
Jack's - it belongs to Jack
Eats, shoots and leaves - he ate, shot someone and then left
Eats shoots and leaves - what a panda does
Helping your Uncle Jack off a horse - Uncle Jack has trouble getting off his horse due to his old age
Helping your uncle jack off a horse - not capitalising a word could lead to ridicule and possibly a police investigation
Let's eat, grandma - I'm hungry grandma, we should go and eat something
Let's eat grandma - I'm hungry and fancy eating my mother's mother
If you plan on using words as part of your daily existence, make sure you use the correct punctuation and grammar. So much as a comma can determine the understanding of what you're trying to say.
