Punctuation interrupts the flow of prose more often than not. Which is why I use it sparingly. My nurse tells me of new punctuation invented for the twitter. Hashtags. I would put scare quotes around that word. But it would only increase my discomfort.

I love The Atlantic's copydesk. "Obscenities, profanities, and vulgarities: Don’t use them gratuitously, but when they’re called for, spell them out instead of abbreviating with a dash or asterisks or obliquely referring to them. We’re not the fucking New York Times."

Happy 100th bday, Beverly Cleary! I was 7 when I sent her the only author fan letter I've ever written, and she replied right back. Heaven.
