punctuation

Punctuation is a key part of everyday writing. Otherwise the phrase "I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse" becomes "I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse". See what I mean?

Often times puncuation is critically lacking online. Not to mention spelling.

Puncto

A six sided red shape from a different dimension. He is from the movie Flatland 2 Sphereland. His personality could be described as nerdy and ambitious and maybe a bit neurotic. He charms his friend and scientific partner over the course of the movie with his natural wit and shockingly good looks. Many other characters in the movie do not believe his scientific theories until it is too late. This may be the cause of his growing neuroticism. I would say that Puncto is a good role model for everyone as he stays true to his beliefs, even when the world is against him. Nearing the end of the movie, Puncto attempts to kiss another shape, however, this attempt fails as they are 2d in a 3d world. I believe that this was an act of fate, because Puncto will be mine one day.

Punctus Gallicism

Frog-stration, that is, French prostration. A point made by the bureaucrats in French politics, especially when concerned to knee-jerk Anti-Americanism. It is the more comical since French politicians have a reputation for the shrillness of their voices, which often sounds like that of a castrated cat.

Punctum

A concept from Roland Barthes' book Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography.

1. To wound.
2. Denoting the wounding, personally touching detail which establishes a direct relationship with the object or person within it.
"Yet the punctum shows no preference for morality or good taste: the punctum can be ill-bred."
Roland Barthes - Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography (Page 43).
