To write or not to write

simple things on Punctuation

there are many symbols in punctuation most of you guys should know how to use the basic ones.

basic punctuation tools

: . , ! ? () " 'and most likely & and *

complex ones that I know of

basically ; - and ,

You guys like I said should know how to use most of them due to English class, but not all of the symbols are used in creative writing.

Not typically used

: & * ; -

Most used

. , ! ? " ' ()

Just to emphasizes the reason why the least used puncuation isn't used as much I'll give a quick explination for each.

: a colon isn't used for simple reasons, writers don't really need to separate their lists from sentences in creative writing its just a little too technical.

& Honestly not many people use this in general, its just easier to type an I believe this is only really used in things like citations and company names

* okay unless you're writing a screen play and decide that instead of (parentheses) use the *astride* or doing live chat RP talk its not really used.

; around the same reasons as the colon its just a little too technical

- Its more custom to use a ,comma, instead of a -hyphen- because the comma does the same as the hyphen and more.
