Punctuation
Hi Team;
This forum is probably not the appropriate place to ask this question, but I have tried to find the answer elsewhere without much success, and because I've had great assistance from you guys in the past, I thought I'd put you to task to see if someone might be able to help. I'm beginning to see the punctuation symbol :-) more often now, mainly used in emails and text messages. I have to be honest in saying I've only seen it a few times and was wondering if it is a proper punctuation mark, or perhaps just a trend thing; it appears to be used as an introductory symbol. I seem to recall reading somewhere not to use the bracket after the colon? Kind regards Graham |
