Prominent Punctuation

Prominent punctuation enlarges periods and commas by drawing a circle around each period, and by drawing a large upward pointing arrow head above each comma. The periods with a circle around them, and the commas with the upward pointing arrow heads above them are standard text editing symbols which can also be used when writing to boost certainty and write better.
Working as a Writing Tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2014, when proofreading, C.M. Fabara started drawing a circle around each period, and an upward- pointing arrow head above each comma for students to more easily see where they were located in the text. Then, to help him see where a text's periods and commas were on a paper when writing a first draft or subsequent version of a paper, he started adding a cicle to all the periods and an upward-pointing arrow head to all the commas in a paper. Four-years later he named his technique "prominent punctuation" and submitted it to UrbanDictionary.com to request their approval.

Pseudo-Punctual

Being Pseudo-Punctual, or participating in Pseudo-Punctuality ( similar to Pseudo-Productive/Pseudo-Productivity) is the act of arriving to a location. or completing a task on time, at the expensive of skipping other important priorities.

E.G. You arrive to work on time, but did so at the expense of skipping your morning routine; Not brushing your teeth, showering, styling your hair, or eating breakfast. This would be defined as Pseudo-Punctual since you did not wake up on time to complete your morning routine before arriving to work.
"You're so punctual! How do you always get to work on time?"

"Don't be fooled, it's just pseudo-punctuality. I only had coffee for breakfast this morning!"

cell phone punctuation

The process or occurrence of non-verbally punctuating a conversation through use of a cell phone.
Cell phone punctuation can occur in many different ways. One example is when you want to get out of an awkward or undesirable conversation, you simply pull out your cell phone and start texting or doing any other miscellaneous thing. This gives the other party the clue that the conversation is over.
