About the Holiday

National Punctuation Day is a day set aside to honor the proper use of punctuation marks. This is holiday that is sure to make Language Arts teachers happy! The use of incorrect punctuation can cause misunderstandings. Today is the day to make sure that you use the comma, colon, semicolon, parentheses, apostrophe, and ellipsis correctly. Are you asking yourself what is an ellipsis? The ellipsis consists of three evenly spaced dots with spaces between the ellipsis and surrounding letters or other marks. Oh, that is what those dots are called!

Celebrate this day by using correct punctuation.
