Guys, please bear in mind the following punctuation rules.

Every sentence ends with a period (.), a question mark (?), or an exclamation point (!).
See ncl.ac.uk/langcen/facilities … tion10.pdf.

Comma abuse: see ncl.ac.uk/langcen/facilities … mma1-1.pdf.

NOTE: I’ll have to review my essays because I may suffer from comma abuse Nº 15. :’(

Do not use a semicolon in place of a comma (,), a dash (-), or a colon (:).
See uses of the semicolon mdc.edu/kendall/collegeprep/ … colons.pdf.

See uses of the colon and the dash sdc.uwo.ca/writing/handouts/ … 20Dash.pdf

Also see web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/Co … icolon.pdf about rules regarding commas and semicolons.

I think these charts are very useful: web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/Pu … tterns.pdf

From [url]Comma - Wikipedia

"Nominative of Address

Commas are placed before, after, or around a noun or pronoun used independently in speaking to some person, place or thing:

  • I hope, John, that you will read this."
  1. John, I hope that you will read this.
  2. I hope that you will read this, John.

So, guys, would you mind correcting your sentences? I’d appreciate it.
