(Bloody hell, what category does this thing belong in?)
So ~BrookeTheVampire asks, "...a page dedicated to use of punctuation would help out. I still have trouble sometimes with colons and semicolons, and it's always nice for someone to be able to find that out all in one spot!"
Well, BrookeTheVampire, ask and ye shall receive! This is the Punctuation Gang's Most Wanted list, all your favorite evil punctuation on one handy reference poster!
The display version above is designed to be viewed on-screen; however, there is also a downloadable "full" version, designed to be appropriate for printing at poster-size.
If you're having trouble with punctuation, this is (hopefully) a handy answer to your questions.
You have a typographical error in the description of #7 Apostrophe.
In your sample, you have the usage for the possessive 's and s' reversed.
The correct usage for this greedy possessive puncuation mark is to use 's for most words that do not end in the letter S, for example: men's, John's, Emily's and girl's. You use the naked ' after words that normally end in the letter S, for example: the boys' (more than one boy owns it), ladies' (more than one lady owns it).
Ya velcome. By the way, both commas in your previous message are grammar errors: They should be colons, followed by two spaces and an initial capital letter. With commas, you have not one but two run-on sentences. :/

Do you suppose if I were to put a signature here, anyone would bother to read it? No? I didn't think so either.
