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.
