Where Does Punctuation Come From?

The Free Cozy Grammar Newsletter with Marie Rackham and Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma

Ever wonder where punctuation came from?

In this excerpt from the Basic Cozy Punctuation Course, Marie gives a very quick history of punctuation and explains how all those "dots, lines, and squiggles" help us hear what we read.

Intermediate Cozy Grammar, Level Two!

We're in the very last weeks of preparing the revised and expanded version of the Intermediate Cozy Grammar Course, Level Two.

Here's what the course will offer you:

  • The reason why it’s not actually so bad to split an infinitive and how this serves you in mastering not just the structure but the history of English.
  • The essential work of clauses and how they can help you write expansive sentences that nobody gets lost in.
  • The undervalued art of creating diagrams of sentences that allow you to see their structures, and your own meanings, even more clearly.
  • A second bonus set of tips for acing the language section of educational exams in a way that turns even the dullest test into a lively and engaging game.
  • The master key that ties all of our Cozy Grammar courses together and integrates your understanding in a way that will serve you for as long as you continue reading and writing.

If this sounds interesting, check out our Complete Curriculum, to which this course will be added in just a few months.

Here's a still from Level Two that says what a dangling participle is:

dangling participle: a participle that doesn't connect clearly to the rest of its sentence
