rules aud and tile the reasons perfectly inscrutable past finding out and its pur pursuit suit sult is iq very commonly ze ilven up in despair as doing only a elusion and a anaro coall elc except nt a wonderfully favored few this is is a mistake punctuation is ia very often mado made ado a much less loss comprehensible matter than there is is any need for i it 1 to he because so many individuals forget that simplicity is the brownin crowning point of perfection and in their anxiety to comprehend the arcana of composition which includes in pointing they make the matter so much more mysterious than it really is that they find themselves perfectly bewildered and utterly alin Ittu unable able abie to fathom it consequently they give it up in despair as a subject entirely beyond their intelligence and their capacity to understand to all such we may omer offer a few suggestions which wilt be of more value to them in ili endeavoring to obtain a tolerable understanding of the mysteries of punctuation than either elther the work mentioned at tile the be beginning inning df this article or the most voluminous hild and 1 exhaustive treatise that ever over lias has been or ever could be penned upon the subject because a lengthy and full exposition s I 1 of the whole subject contains contal n Is so many things lings ti illustrated with such profuseness profus eness oness and variety that common minds would find it difficult if not impossible to reduce all the rules and remarks and illustrations to ordinary practice punctuation for the people should bo be such a would be readily understood and a always ways available to them tiie the first thing to remember then is simplicity it should be never lost sight of but always sought blought the tho cumbersome and the complex should be avoided as much as reasonably could be done it is better to err even on the side of simplicity than on that of complexity many brally people seem to imagine that in writing they must use all the points employed in punctuation and use them as often as they can bo be inserted this must be s so 0 for numbers of people of tale taie talent n t and even oven genius great writers and authorities upon literature abt lau lan language guage reso so anxious lu to pune elaborately that not Qt content with using the tho simple poi pol rits which usage has bas brought down to u us they practically invent more by putting tivo points to together ether fa they evih wih iuta puta comma and arid a dash a semi calou and a dash or a colon and rind i a dash to together in fact wo believe some people are so anxious to punctuate thoroughly as to use three pints points together tho the comma or semicolon the parenthesis and the d dash ash I 1 this tills double or treble stopping stepping is not sim simply ly ridiculous it is com complexly and hild cumbrously ridiculous nid rid eulous culous and alid who can enn understand 10 it who wib cap render anin anju an si intelligible telli gible reason nor for it yet yec some so me of tl the ie very besa best writers are cam committed bitted fo to this absurd by ever kc keeping ering an eye upon aj m city then we shall shail avoid avold ills this complex and useless double stopping on g and have one olle mystery mys tery out of the tile way happily of late years the tendency of much of the most widely read yead literature the newspapers for instance is towards simplicity of construction and antl consequently of punctuation in a few cases double stopping so 0 far fai a as i s the the use ure of the period and dash together aro are c concerned is 3 well cs es and almost universal stil for instance in dividing liea lica dinos dinga or sub suu beil heli headings dings of chapters and at the commencement of dialogue paragraphs between the name of the tile speaker and what lie he speaks yet vet a dash only is often used in each ot of these cases eases after the side ilva livA heading beading dIng of a paragraph or longer logger article the period perio dand and dash toge together tiler are useful with a parenthesis also a comma or a semicolon is sometimes employed but this need be very seldom for j seg sei ses rhems themselves need bo be used but very sparingly warin Tarin gly thia this brings us to tile the subject of parenthetic sentences or portions of sentences remembering our prudent fear of the cont coni complex plex and cumbersome ber some and our equally prudent love of simplicity 51 we shall ever eer regard parenthetic portions of asen a sen tence with ith suspicion and rather nather seek to avoid them by employing simpler and more q direct forms of expression then let ils us lis have as few palen valen parentheses as we cau can and lituch as we do have be as s short and simple as we wo can conveniently make them fut for simplicity and perspicuity have ilvo a great groat affinity for each other and are apt to go to together gother i then how shall we point par pau parentheses e ll 11 theses the same game as wo we do other parts ofa sentence in as simple a style as we can leaving the sense clear some people eople enclose ti their leir I 1 parentheses aren theses with dashes it caubo can be done c better otherwise the sd simplest im parentheses when we must have any are sufficiently pe ous if separated from jile the other parts of or the senti sentence epco epee by commas commac only where coi col commas are deemed insufficient use the tho parenthetical marks 0 boldly without Vit hout squeamishness they are the proper marks marim to be e used when so needed they thes are employed for noether no other purpose and ana they aro are iro lre very distinctive then about tile the dash when and where may that be lie used tile the dash dasil is very significant of itself it can bevery be very properly used where there 13 tiny any hiatus something more indicated and coming an explanation or amplification am of what amedi abely precedes it as in tile the f first sentence of this paragraph the semicolon is seldom used now by y many good writers perspicuous in in their writings and the colon s scarcely ex breely ever by bi them in fact in a great deal of the literature beof of the day the colon ia is practically discarded it is in use in iong longwinded long jong winded lawyers briefs ancient manuscripts old oid books and pedantic compositions but in popular literature even of the best class it is very seldom used except where double stopping with the dash and even there the tiie dash is naturally more expressive than the colon and all sufficient without withof t it we know that some people will oppose the views here hero expressed it is their privilege to do so if they choose we are not writing to construct a theory of punctuation as elaborate as possible and to ex emelity the practice of such a theory those who desire can point as ili lil highly 1 lily and complexly as they please with |
