MYSTERIOUS English Punctuation
/ˌpʌŋktʃuˈeɪʃn/
Firstly, let's define the noun "punctuation".
It is the marks used in writing that divide sentences and phrases; the system of using these marks.
How many marks do you know?
I dare you to name at least 9.
Undoubtedly, the trickiest of all is COMMA ",",
the average frequency for which is 61.6 (per 1000 words)!
The mark is used to separate the items in a list or to show where there is a slight break in a sentence.
So, the weirdest rule concerns complex sentences.
The commas are only used if the subordinate clause comes before the main one.
