Anonymous User asked: Punctuation mark tier list?
- S: .,!? these ones are pretty essential for conveying intonation in written English
- A: '" you need these for dialogue but for the most part you just need one of the two, and single quote can pull double duty as an apostrophe
- B: ;: they can be used well but they're often used poorly
- C: -—/() you don't really need most of these unless you're coding or something, but they can be nice for asides or they can aid brevity
- D: ‽ although i think this symbol is delightful, very few people actually use it and it's liable to cause confusion or technical issues in a lot of situations
