Punctuation is one of the most important aspects of written English, and yet it is one that is taken the most lightly. It is, in fact, this feature of writing that gives meaning to the written words. An error in punctuation can convey a completely different meaning to the one that is intended.

Correct punctuation is the different between “Let’s eat, grandma” and “Let’s eat grandma”. It’s the difference between the College of St Leonard, and the College where there are many St Leonards to be found.
