I dreamed that I hated the fact I was two
punctuation marks in one: a period and a comma. I envied other
punctuation, especially the dash.
Then I dreamed about how
Winston Churchill "believed that in remarks directed to the ear, a
semicolon was verboten—whereas a dash fit the rhythm of a speech or
talk, making it more conversational," just as in SPEAK LIKE CHURCHILL
by James C. Humes.
