National Punctuation Day is celebrated on September 24th. It was founded in 2004 by Jeff Rubin, a copy editor and grammarian, as a way to promote the correct usage of punctuation.


Punctuation is the use of marks to indicate the structure and organisation of written language. It helps to clarify meaning, create emphasis, and guide the reader's eye. Without punctuation, our writing would be confusing and difficult to understand.


There are many different types of punctuation, including periods, commas, semicolons, question marks, exclamation points, quotation marks, parentheses, brackets, and dashes. Each one has its own specific purpose.


To celebrate National Punctuation Day, you can:

  • Take a punctuation quiz to test your knowledge.

  • Read a book or article about punctuation.

  • Write a short story or poem that uses punctuation creatively.

  • Correct the punctuation in a piece of writing.

  • Share your love of punctuation with others on social media.


No matter how you choose to celebrate, National Punctuation Day is a great opportunity to learn more about this important part of language.


Here are some additional ways to celebrate National Punctuation Day:

  • Play punctuation games. There are many punctuation games available online and in stores. These games can help you learn about different punctuation marks and how to use them correctly.

  • Create a punctuation poster. Make a poster that illustrates the different types of punctuation and their uses. You can hang it in your classroom, office, or home to remind you to use punctuation correctly.

  • Write a thank-you note to a punctuation teacher or editor. Let them know how much you appreciate their help in teaching you the importance of punctuation.


By taking the time to celebrate National Punctuation Day, you can help to ensure that the written language remains clear, concise, and easy to understand.
