The importance of punctuation

I think that grammar and punctuation are extremely important. It only takes a few moments to write things at least somewhat correctly. I don't mean that everything has to be perfect. Small mistakes are just that, small mistakes. But when people use "u" and "ur" on message boards, or don't capitalize or punctuate when they should, it just makes me think they don't care enough about what they're saying for it to be worth my while to read it most of the time.

I think punctuation is very important, especially commas, explanation points, apostrophes, and periods.

One thing that bothers me in books is typos. I thought they paid editors to fix such things.

Punctuation is very important in all types of writings, writings without punctuation might even change the meaning of the sentence as a whole, using punctuation makes us get a clear picture of what we are reading

I agree, punctuation is so important! Especially when it's only written and not verbally said.

I don't know all the grammer rules, (I was just happy to pass English). How else are you supposed to know when someone is excited or simply making a statement.

Punctuation, spelling and grammer are important. There was an idea recently that enforcing strict spelling on children stifled creativity. Finally, it seems to have been realized that this is a bad idea. If everyone uses their own variation of language, how will people understand each other?

Well apparently myLot's filters won't let me use the sentence I was going to but I understand to a point. (Although I do think filters like that should stick to actual factual cussing and not crude things in general.)

Proper Grammar, like all things has it's time and place. Email isn't one of them, unless you're using it for some sort of newsletter thing. And really 'Shed gone without me' is only going to confuse someone who knows zilch about english.

It is important to use punctuation. I think it's okay not to use it in a text or a quick email, but if you want to communicate something well you need to write out clearly what it is you want to say.

I certainly would not be impressed by a business email with incorrect punctuation, and I have seen some bad errors on websites.

Punctuation marks are very important in one's sentence construction. I find it annoying if I am reading an email or a paragraph without the proper punctuation marks as this confuses the reader on what the writer really wants to convey..

I'm totally obsessed by punctuation and also by writing words in the right way, without mistakes, I think it's very important to let people know what exactly we think.
Unfortunately I'm not English and sometimes I make mistakes writing in this language, but that's why I use foreign forums and websites..to improve my English;-)

It's very hard for us to read texts without punctuation...we might have a different interpretation...we will be having lots of interpretation and meaning...there will be misunderstanding...
just like what is happening to me. i usually use exclamation point(!)whenever i chat and send text messages. so, they say that am always angry...coz of those puntuation marks that i use...
