NPR recited On Punctuation on their writer's almanac section today, which totally made me snooty. Oh, of course, you love commas and exclamation marks and ellipses - who doesn't? Those are the easy, slutty punctuation marks that any fool can have, no grace, so subtly, no class.

Not like the crisp grace of a period or the impressive clarity of a well-placed colon.
