I'm a full-fledged grammar nazi. I get a little nervous tic when I see things written poorly. My current crusade: it's "should have" or "should've," not "should of." I expend a lot of self-control not correcting grammar on the internet and in text messages. I even had to restrain myself from correcting the previously mentioned "should of" error in a hashtag my brother posted on Twitter. A hashtag. Obviously I have some issues.
However, those issues can be addressed on another day because today is National Punctuation Day. It's a perfect excuse to finally let loose and send that text message containing a (properly used) semicolon that you've been bottling up inside for ages. Do it. It'll feel good. I promise. Now, if only we could get everyone on the internet to join in the celebration...
