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.

Transformed into a "correct attribution" that statement would say something like, "In August of 2009, CBP Directive 3340-049 laid out its policies on searching electronic devices....In the course of a border search, with or without individualized suspicion, an Officer may examine electronic devices and may review and analyze the information encountered at the border.” Though correctly attributing an action increases transparency and accountability, and generally furthers the common good, it takes more time to say and/or space to write.
