* Punctuation marks are symbols that indicate the structure and organization
* of written language, as well as intonation and pauses to be observed when
* reading aloud. In many languages, punctuation is vital to disambiguate the
* meaning of sentences.
*
* The rules of punctuation vary with language, location, register and time
* and are constantly evolving. Certain aspects of punctuation are stylistic
* and are thus the author's (or editor's) choice. Tachygraphic language forms,
* such as those used in online chat and text messages, may have wildly
* different rules.
